Good article.
When you start researching colleges for your kids, there are many resouces out there for info. OU started getting love from some of the best sources, on a consistent basis, about five years ago.

Boren has done an amazing job of getting info about OU out there - and it is good press.

UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA Norman

Undergraduates: 21,270

Acceptance rate: 82 percent

Oklahoma’s rising academic profile is reflected in statistics: No. 1 per capita among public universities in the number of National Merit Scholars enrolled (currently 700) and in the top five in the graduation of Rhodes Scholars. This is a sprawling university, with commensurate academic resources and heterogeneity: about a quarter of undergraduates are minorities (8 percent American Indian) and on Pell grants. Deep in the heartland, Oklahoma has its own natural history museum, a renowned collection of Impressionist paintings, and 20 colleges offering 153 undergraduate majors. We hear the football team is not so bad, either.
