Our athletic facilities are just as nice if not nicer than yours, we still have the T Boone Foundation and have many newer projects continuing. Go look at our athletic village, and the best college golf course in the country Karsten Creek. Osu always renovates and invests. Plus we have other oil donors lol. We’re 3 hours from DFW, hell I’m from Houston and many of us went here over A&M. Just wait for the difference in spending from Gundy to Morris.
Mike Gundy was the issue and morally hated paying for recruits. Instead, he wanted to pay the upperclassman first for sticking around…big loyalty guy. Or use NIL money for coaching contracts because he hated replacing coordinators. TBoone and our other oil donors disagreed with Gundy his entire tenure. Gundy wanted to avoid recruiting battles and throw 20lbs of muscle on the small town high school hero which can only get you so far.

Poach an AD that’s successful at an another school.
What about a newer big 12 member? They had to have a competent AD to get into that conference and compete in all sports.
Or Tulane seems to have a good well rounded athletic program across the board, go snag that person.

The reality is LSU, with its recruiting in Louisiana and Houston alone is more than programs can wish for. It’s an NFL factory down there and they’ll do everything to maintain it. They could literally own the Houston recruiting market again if they started winning.
The only jobs better than LSU imo are Ohio State at its prime and maybe Texas. Florida/USC 20 years ago sure.

LSU is literally a top 3-4 easiest place to recruit.
People don’t realize the MASSIVE influence they have in Houston, hell my highschool sold LSU cups for fundraising.

North Texas is doing the same with Oklahoma State.

Okstate should be on their knees trying to get Bedlam back, or any of the old rivalry games (Arkansas, Mizzou).
I’ll always fault our leadership for not even trying to continue relationships.

re: Mike Gundy did more with less than most coaches I’ve seen. Send him to us.

This isn’t true. Gundy was against paying for recruits. Donors held back funds not trusting Gundy, you have programs like wrestling and golf that are benefiting from donors which unfortunately don’t make nearly the return as football.
The TBoone Foundation gave us $120 million like 2 years ago.
Gundy pissed relationships away with coaches, for example the top Juco is in Kansas and we’ve gotten 0 players. DFW is 3-4 hr drive. Tulsa has good recruiting.
He relied on 2-3* stars because he was scared of recruiting against OU when they don’t give 2 shits about us. Best coach we’ve had, but time for someone with 0 ties to the school to come in and shake things up.

Sucks that Arkansas and LSU have to play each other first.
Would rather see an Oregon State-Arkansas or UCLA-LSU.

I just want a schedule with OU,OkSt, Texas, A&M, Arky, and Mizzou. Hell half a share of SEC revenue is still more than the Big 12.
It’s more than football wins/market size. Little 12 has no culture. For example our fraternities would drive to Fayetteville for Row Week, then Arky would come for our Calf Fry concert.
People from Arizona, Utah, Cincy, etc. don’t view Saturday’s the same way. Their towns dont shutdown for football games, etc.

We know, that’s Okstate sports for you in a nutshell.
We even have the record for most consecutive CWS appearances with 7 in the 80s.
Only 1 natty from the 50s.

You get the privilege of playing in the SEC.
Could be worse, could be stuck playing in empty ballparks in the big 12 with random schools.

Duke beats the Pokes 3-2 after OkState squandered a 2-0 lead until giving up 3 in the bottom 8th.
At least we knocked out Georgia, Duke wins the Athens Regionals.
