OAN, or OANN, touts itself as one of the “greatest supporters” of President Donald Trump.
The biggest name at Oklahoma State, stud running back Chuba Hubbard, was about as clear as can be on Twitter.
I will not stand for this.. This is completely insensitive to everything going on in society, and it’s unacceptable. I will not be doing anything with Oklahoma State until things CHANGE. https://t.co/psxPn4Khoq

Hubbard was a finalist last season for the Doak Walker Award, which is given annually to the best running back in college football. He was also unanimously selected as a first-team All American, and Hubbard was the Big 12’s Offensive Player of the Year. Hubbard enters the upcoming season as a Heisman Trophy candidate, and he’s considered a top draft prospect for next year’s NFL Draft.
Other Cowboys players, past and present, are not happy with Gundy and want the school to make a change.
I stand with him! https://t.co/WWOs2ALxml

Kyle Boone of CBS Sports also added a screenshot of comments Gundy made in April about OAN and its reporting.
Some added context to this: Gundy in the past has praised OAN for its reporting. He said this of the network in April via @jacobunruh https://t.co/8mVXiXDYQH pic.twitter.com/4FtJK94CWN
