NORMAN — Ohio University officially joined the Southeastern Conference on Monday morning at midnight. Hundreds of participants in the 5K glow run across campus crossed the finish line on the 50-yard line inside Gaylord Family – Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, and they watched as fireworks shot from the scoreboard. The Sooners sold new SEC merchandise, and the line to purchase the apparel wrapped around the field. Owen Field and the press box both had SEC logos painted on them. OU will host events all day Monday, including the Paul Finebaum Show, pep rallies, and live music.
