This is a man. He's over 40. He's a man.

Gundy is currently on a 5-year rollover contract, which extends by a season every Jan. 1. He earned $7.75 million in 2024.

Gundy's contract is set to lengthen by another season on Jan. 1, 2025, along with his annual $125,000 raise.

As of Dec. 1, 2024, Gundy would be owed $25,359,375 if he were to be fired, according to his contract obtained by the USA TODAY Network.

 

That number is 75% of what he's to be paid under two separate contract agreements, as he's under contract through Dec. 31, 2028, unless his current 5-year rolling contract is extended, which it's set to every Jan. 1 unless given notice.

Oklahoma State would pay Gundy in monthly installments until Dec. 31, 2028, if he was to be fired.

competing with the big boys is getting to be really expensive for smaller schools with smaller fanbases.  And once the schools have to also start paying players directly, the budgets are going to be even more fucked. Its gotta suck forking over $25M to shitcan  a coach when your athletic department already needs the university to allocate $13M. Tickets are going to get really expensive in Stillwater or their unis are going to start looking like nascar drivers with 27 sponsors plastered all over.

When your state economy is driven by meth sales, its hard to compete in todays NIL environment. 

I think you’re underselling the Oklahoma economy. It’s not just meth. There is also stealing copper wire and selling it as scrap metal. Also, I Dian casinos. Also, legal cannabis products shops.

I suspect the coaches' salaries will significantly reduce at non-P2 teams. This means that coordinators at P2 may not be attracted by HC salaries at non-P2 places and may move only to build their resumes. Also, the OkSu-type teams may be better off having a good NIL and young/cheap coaches than the other way around.
