Oklahoma Sooners

| Requests

The University of Oklahoma Athletics Department encourages and supports organizations, programs and activities which strengthen the communities in which our Sooner families live, work and learn. OU coaches, student-athletes and administrators are dedicated to working with your group to help build champions throughout our community.

Poster & Schedule Cards

The OU Athletics Department produces promotional posters and schedule cards for Sooner teams throughout the year. These items are available free of charge at locations within the OU Athletics Department on the Norman campus and can also be requested by mail for Sooner fans outside the area. Please view the promotions page for more information.

Charitable Item Request

You can apply to have an item donated to your non-profit or charity organization to benefit your group or the community. Please note that the OU Athletics Department does not give away signed footballs, basketballs, or helmets. If you wish to send your own ball or helmet to be signed, please select that option when you submit your request (after your application has been approved).

The OU Athletics Department WILL NOT accept requests from:
• Organizations that discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, gender, or national origin
• Individuals (donations are only provided to OU, charitable, educational or non-profit organizations -- not individuals)
• Organizations or programs designed to influence legislation or elect candidates to public office
• Organizations outside of the United States
• In-state organizations that are not OU, a charitable, educational or non-profit entity
• Out-of-state organizations that are not registered as a non-profit entity
• Organizations that do not adhere to NCAA rules and regulations

Although the OU Athletics Department attempts to satisfy every request, the high demand does not afford a guarantee that your request will be fulfilled.

Speaking Requests

Sooner athletes are a special group of students. They are Big 12 Champions, NCAA All-Americans and NCAA Champions. They are also available at your request for speaking engagements. This includes talking to a class about the importance of staying in school and staying away from drugs, or refereeing at your school's field day events, or visiting patients at a nursing home, or serving food and signing autographs at Parents Weekend. You may also select coaches or administrators to speak to your group. We can not guarantee that a speaker will be available for your event.

How to Make a Request

To expedite the processing of your request and ensure NCAA compliance, the OU Athletics Department requires all organizations to submit requests online. Submitting your request online is simple and will only take a few minutes. Please allow two to four weeks for requests to be processed. Do not submit a request if your event is a week or less away.

1. Register your organization with the OU Athletics Compliance Office. Your organization will be reviewed to ensure that it is a non-profit, charitable, educational or OU organization. Once your organization application has been approved, you will receive an email from the OU Athletics Department with your username and password.

2. Log in to the system with your username/password and submit your request. You will receive an email confirmation that your request has been approved or denied. You may also log in to the system at any time to check its status.

Please Note

Due to NCAA rules, the OU Athletics Department may NOT comply with requests from or which will benefit:
• High Schools
• Preparatory schools
• Junior Colleges
• Youth athletics organizations that include prospects OR other organizations that include only young people defined by the NCAA as prospects (young people in grades nine and up who have yet to enroll full-time in a university) or their teachers or coaches.

If you have questions or would like more clarification on the applicable NCAA rules, please contact the OU Athletics Compliance Office at (405) 325-7004 or email athleticscompliance@ou.edu.
