OU will be excited to invite one of their own back home. However, the fans did not seem that thrilled<\/a> about the decision.<\/p>\n \u201cBooo.

Was really hoping for Shai\u201d, another fan shared his wish.<\/p>\n \u201cLove Trae. But what? If you\u2019re going nba OKC champs would love to do it ; Shai. Jdub. Caruso. If you want past OU players keep it football. CeeDee. Barry. Bradford. Bob. They kinda missed with this one.\u201d, one fan explained his discontent.<\/p>\n \u201cCool but why not Barry Switzer he was the last head coach when we played versus Michigan?\u201d, a user shared.<\/p>\n \u201cBoring. Should of been a NBA Champion that\u2019s 30 miles away.\u201d another commented.<\/p>\n \u201cReally, football blue bloods don\u2019t care what that kid has to say.\u201d one fan got blunt.<\/p>\n Michigan and Oklahoma meet<\/a> for the first time since 1976. Week 2 of the college football season has a blockbuster matchup in store for the fans. It\u2019s another SEC vs Big Ten showdown.<\/p>\n Trae Young must be delighted with the invite. He was also courtside recently<\/a> for His former EYBL team. Young is currently under a five-year contract<\/a> with the Hawks, which is worth $215,159,700.<\/p>\n Trae Young\u2019s lack of a contract extension with the Atlanta Hawks<\/p>\n Trae Young\u2019s current agreement with the Atlanta Hawks spans 5 years. The contract stands for 2022-27. With only 2 years left, Young expected a new proposal from the Hawks already. But there was a lot of noise around his future in Atlanta during the offseason.<\/p>\n Trae also spoke up<\/a> on transfer issues and how it could affect NBA players. Since the start of the season, there has been no major update about this.<\/p>\n NBA insider Jake Fischer shared <\/a>in early August, \u201cSources say Young\u2019s side has actually been resigned for some time to the prospect of seeing out the final guaranteed year on his current contract rather than securing an extension, like his current contract, worth in excess of $200 million. He\u2019d then have to make a decision about his $49 million player option for 2026-27.\u201d<\/p>\n Will Hawks give Young an extension, or will he trade him to another team after his final year? Only time will tell.<\/p>\n College Sports Network has you covered with the latest news, analysis, insights, and trending stories in\u00a0college football<\/a>,\u00a0men\u2019s college basketball<\/a>,\u00a0women\u2019s college basketball<\/a>, and\u00a0college baseball!<\/a><\/p>\n
