"I have been incredibly impressed with the mindset, attitude and buy-in from our players since I was hired in December," Venables said in a release. "They are embracing our standards and they understand the importance of the culture, mentality and togetherness we're developing.
"The Coaches Caravan is an opportunity to share our vision with our fans and supporters, and how we're executing it. I'm looking forward to hitting the road and I know Coach Baranczyk and Coach Moser are as well. It's going to be a fun series of events."
Toby Rowland, the radio voice of the Sooners, will emcee all but the Dallas and Oklahoma City events.
Tickets cost $40 each for all but the Houston, Dallas and Oklahoma City events. Those three are $50 each (drinks included). Tickets can be purchased at SoonerSports.com.
