Oklahoma–Kent State Set for 4 p.m. ET on SEC Network With Contracted $1.5 Million Payout

The matchup carries a $1.5 million guarantee to Kent State under a contract detailing ticket allotments plus complimentary admissions.

Wide receiver Isaiah Sategna III #5 of the Oklahoma Sooners catches a 24-yard touchdown pass unguarded by the Auburn Tigers in the second quarter at Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium on September 20, 2025 in Norman, Oklahoma. SEC officials later released a statement interpreting the play as an illegal hideout tactic which should have resulted in a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. Oklahoma won 24-17.
