Oklahoma’s Board of Regents have approved the sale of alcohol at some university sporting events.

The decision was made on Wednesday afternoon after new OU president Jim Gallogly recommended the change to the board.

The regents approved a “pilot program” at certain OU sporting events, but will discuss approving alcohol sales at football games at a later date.
