Oklahoma on Tuesday afternoon released a statement shortly after quarterback John Mateer did about a viral post on X from Monday night that accused Mateer of gambling on sports in 2022 and included screenshots from Mateer’s Venmo account.

However, making jokes about it is not, even if it can start a sticky situation like this.
