Cornett said has seen the benefits of an NBA team first-hand. The Seattle SuperSonics relocated to Oklahoma City — as the Oklahoma City Thunder — prior to the 2008 season, giving Oklahoma City its first professional sports team, aside from a minor-league baseball team. “In a sense, it has put us on the map,” Cornett said. “It has validated a level of major-league status.

The Thunder have won division titles each of the last three seasons and made an appearance in the NBA Finals in 2012. “The city just has a higher profile because of that team,Workplace diversity starts to fade as you move up the corporate ladder- Huppke,” Cornett said.</html>
