<blockquote><p>• That Lunt allegedly cited a desire to transfer &#8220;closer to home&#8221; and that those blocked schools are not &#8220;closer to home.&#8221;</p>
<p>• The belief that at least some coaches at some interested schools improperly contacted Lunt.</p>
<p>• The possibility Oklahoma State could face some of the blocked conferences in a bowl game.</p></blockquote>
<p>The third one is my favorite.  I&#8217;m surprised Gundy stopped at 37 schools.</p>
