Have an issue with an airline? Oklahoma AG has a new website to submit complaints

OKLAHOMA CITY – Attorney General Gentner Drummond’s office said Tuesday that it launched an online form to submit complaints about airline carriers and ticket agents to his office.

Drummond has the authority to review and resolve complaints from airline consumers that are Oklahoma residents after signing a “memorandum of understanding” with the U.S. Department of Transportation, according to a news release.

While these investigations are normally handled by the federal government, Drummond’s office said in a statement that elevated levels of airline consumer complaints allow this agreement to streamline the review of complaints.

“Airline passengers deserve to be treated fairly and to receive the services for which they pay,” Drummond said in a statement. “Our hope is that this airline complaint form will improve ease for Oklahomans to lodge a complaint directly with the Attorney General’s office.”

This is a two-year agreement that can be extended in intervals of two years. The complaint form can be accessed through the Oklahoma attorney general’s website.

The U.S. Department of Transportation is expected to launch its own modernized system for handling complaints sometime in July.

Where do the Oklahoma Sooners land in updated ESPN's SP+ rankings?

Where do the Oklahoma Sooners land in updated ESPN's SP+ rankings?

The Oklahoma Sooners watched the rest of the college football world in action in Week 12, as they were on their second and final bye week of the 2024 regular season.

OU’s record sits at 5-5 and just 1-5 in SEC play, a disappointing mark for a program that is used to winning and winning big. In the third season under head coach Brent Venables, it’s been a rough go of things in Norman in Year 1 in a new league.

But in at least one metric, Oklahoma may not be as bad as their record indicates. ESPN college football writer Bill Connelly released his weekly SP+ rankings (ESPN+)for all 134 teams at the FBS level.

Connelly defines SP+ as a tempo-and opponent-adjusted measure of college football efficiency, intended to be predictive and forward-facing. It is not a résumé ranking, and is simply a measure of the most sustainable and predictable aspects of football.

While the Sooners are far from sniffing the actual Top 25 and are a long shot to making a bowl game for the first time in 25 years, SP+ has them ranked all the way up at No. 27, sandwiched in between Colorado and Virginia Tech.

One saving grace of OU’s poor season, and the most likely reason for the top-30 ranking, is that they’ve played a very difficult schedule. Tulane is one of the best teams in the Group of Five, and Oklahoma beat them by 15 points. South Carolina is far better than anyone expected, and teams like Tennessee, Texas, Ole Miss, and Missouri have all had their moments in 2024.

Unfortunately, the schedule doesn’t get any easier, as Alabama comes to town on Saturday, and Oklahoma will face LSU on the road a week after that. The Sooners will have to win at least one of those matchups if they want to avoid missing a bowl game for the first time since 1998.
