At IT, Ian Boyd trolls the Sooners regularly. He predicted when they hired Nagy that the org structure (they both report to the AT&T guy, who may be parallel to Castiglione) would create conflict. 
 
Before Nagy, when (frankly less than special) Damonic Williams was threatening to enter the draft (Ha!) in order to vie for continued NIL (he was overpaid last season), OU found a way to keep him. Now, maybe Nagy is trying to enforce a pay scale?

Loving this.

Also, good luck for OU continuing to recruit high profile HS players given:

1. They have a poor recent record of five star recruits developing (this used to be Texas)

2. They have earned a reputation as a program that will compete financially to sign a high profile recruit, but will cut the pay if he fails to flash early.

I listened to the SoonerScoop podcast. They were cautioning their fans to not get mad at Stone. The moderators admitted this is a bad look for OU. 
 
When players leverage their position for more money, fans can get upset at them for being greedy,…if they are fans of a team that doesn’t churn the bottom of its roster and process disappointing prospects out. OU is not that team (neither is Texas), so it doesn’t get to point fingers and cry about gratitude.

My sooner fan FIL is a pretty typical sooner. He’s pointed to stone as a top 10 National player who still chose ou in the middle of their post Riley chaos. So him bailing is extra sweet for me.

They’re so arrogant, I doubt they understand how far they’ve fallen. I think they need to pivot to the Arizona State model. Prioritize the portal. Lots of developmental lottery tickets in tickets in high school recruiting. 
 

They’re not going to win many 5 star battles, and if when they do, they’ll pay more than can afford.

Serious post here -  please come back to the board and tell if you happen to ask him his reaction. It would be sweet for many here also

I wish I could help here. Sooner coworkers are so down right now that the only thing that will get them worked up is telling them Texas Tech is a better academic school.
