Hang on. He lost a million dollars a year, had one year cut off his contract, his guaranteed money cut in half. Over a T shirt he wore fishing? And it was his idea?

Seems like Gundy has been best thing ay OSU since Jimmy Johnson.

Yeah, I saw that..... I would not have taken a pay cut , and forced them to fire me. Then go sit on a beach somewhere for a couple of years. I hate to say it RT but I'm probably gonna walk away from college football.

No your not. You will be at the stadium singing “The Eyes of Texas are upon you”. Wait, maybe you won’t be allowed to.

Apparently there's a group that plan on sitting out until changes are made..... I can't handle stupidity like that.

K State sat out too. Sit out is over, the realized they were 3 star K State players and no one cares and they really have no options.

This sums it up perfectly.

STILLWATER -- Thursday evening, Oklahoma State announced the conclusion of an investigation into Mike Gundy and the football program stating the review "uncovered no signs or indication of racism."

Rather, after talking with former and current players, they discovered Mike Gundy needs to invest more time into creating and maintaining personal relationships with his players.

Athletic director Mike Holder met with members of the media Friday morning via Zoom where he announced that following the investigation, Mike Gundy has accepted an updated contract. In fact, coach Gundy was the one that suggested the updated contract.

His new contract has been reduced from a five-year rollover to a four-year rollover contract and pay has been reduced by $1 million per year from $5 million to $4 million.

The news of an updated contract was first reported by Stadium's Brett McMurphy.

"I can confirm that it's true," Holder said of Gundy's contract adjustment. "The changes were offered up by Mike Gundy and I commend him for that. It was his idea to make a million dollar pay cut; you don't find that very often in the competitive world of college football. We made a few other changes to the contract at his suggestion, so I commend him for that. I think it really demonstrates his commitment to being a better coach and he wanted to make a statement that assured all the players that this wasn't just about talk, this was more about action and that's the first step."


Other changes to the contract include the guaranteed amount lowered from 75% to 50%, and the buyout reduced from $5 million to $4 million. They also added a force majeure, or an Act of God, clause to the contract, based on the current landscape of college athletics due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Holder mentioned in the Zoom call that the athletic department needed to add an Act of God clause to every coach's contract.

He’s a great man and a great coach! I hope he leaves The REAL OSU!

Wow losing a million a year for a freaking T-shirt

Given the state of NCAA athletics this year, I wonder if some of this was a cut to save other programs/jobs at the school. Take a pay cut, save some other programs or jobs and write it off to the SJW’s. 1M would go a long way to help pay for the aquatic’s dept or the track team.

That's exactly what it was. The shirt had nothing to do with it.
