White-outs and Pink-outs

[womenssports]

Anyone know of any white-outs being planned? I kind of thought OSU might be but since that will probably bring a big crowd maybe waiting for
Tx or Baylor. Also the pink-out is usually towards the middle of
Feb. I think. Want to plan for getting my great-nephew to those games.

I will try to call the athletic dept tomorrow if no one responds.

I don't know if this is much help. But your best answer would probably be to call the athletics office.

Looks like Baylor Feb 22 is pink-out day.

Thanks for the responses. Baylor for Breast Cancer Awareness and it looks like no white-out. Thought there would be something for OSU. Might still make that call.

Not sure if this was answered so I'll leave this here.

The staff decided against buying shirts for these games any longer. Instead they are donating the money that would have been used on shirts to those causes. Personally, I love and admire this.

There will still be a "pink out" for Baylor bit they are encouraging you to bring your own pink shirt.

Men are having a stripe out against Baylor. 12,000 free shirts. I thought Coale had sponsors that bought the shirts. They had a lot of advertising on them, if I remember correctly.

I'm surprised they can't get the shirts paid for by the 5 advertisers that they have on the back of them...

Maybe she is asking the sponsors to give the money straight to the charity which I can only imagine being something they would do if they were given
some sort of recognition like they had on the shirts. As it is, I imagine they give to charities but maybe not this one.

I always thought the t-shirts were a waste of money. However, the kids sure like them.

EDIT: I wonder if they are still giving away 4000 pink light-up items for the game. Personally,
those things are probably toxic and, if not, probably toxic to make, use water, so if you
are thinking about cancer prevention these are not good items. PLUS, if made in China, wonder
how much lead. NOW these are a waste of money and detrimental. ALSO, how about the money
they spend on the pink uniforms and shoes. THAT is bigger waste of money. I mean just have pink
tops and wear regular pants and shoes if you want to make sure people are aware.

Why buy 12,000 shirts when only 4,000 people show up on a good day. Smart move.
