Oklahoma State\u2019s<\/a> football helmets will look a little bit different this season.<\/p>\n The players will wear QR codes on their helmets this season that will link to the general team fund to increase the program\u2019s NIL money pool<\/a>.<\/p>\n The QR codes will be about 1.5-inch decals that feature each player\u2019s name and number. They are not expected to be visible from the stands but are expected to be noticeable in close-up shots during broadcasts and photos posted online.\u00a0<\/p>\n CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n This photo provided by Oklahoma State Athletics shows a QR code on an Oklahoma State NCAA college football helmet on Thursday, Aug. 15, 2024 at Boone Pickens Stadium in Stillwater, Oklahoma.<\/span> (Bruce Waterfield\/OSU Athletics via AP)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n “This is a revolutionary step forward to help keep Oklahoma State football ahead of the game,” head coach Mike Gundy said. “It gives a chance for everyday fans across the world to have a real impact when it comes to supporting the NIL efforts for Cowboy football. I\u2019m thrilled about this opportunity for our players.”<\/p>\n While Gundy is thrilled about the opportunity for his players, he is not thrilled with agents continuously calling about NIL deals.<\/p>\n “Tell your agent to quit calling us and asking for more money. It\u2019s non-negotiable now. Start again in December.”<\/p>\n OKLAHOMA STATE’S MIKE GUNDY DELIVERS STERN MESSAGE ABOUT PLAYERS’ FOCUS AS SEASON KICKOFF NEARS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Oklahoma State Cowboys head coach Mike Gundy reacts on the sideline in the second half against the Texas A&M Aggies during the TaxAct Texas Bowl at NRG Stadium on Dec. 27, 2023 in Houston.<\/span> (Tim Warner\/Getty Images)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n “I told the players there\u2019s no negotiating now,” he said. “Portal\u2019s over.
