Oklahoma State student Raffi Demirjian was doing what he usually does on Friday mornings: he laid in his bed and worked on his virtual internship from the comfort of his home.
But then his phone started buzzing uncontrollably.
Because these texts came at the same time in such large quantities, Demirjian knew something was wrong.
“I saw some texts come in at first and some GroupMe messages and Snapchats and I’m like ‘what is my phone getting all blown up about?’”, Demirjian said.
“And then ESPN popped up.”
Demirjian clicked on the ESPN app to discover that the NCAA punished the OSU men’s basketball team for actions committed by assistant coach Lamont Evans in 2017.
