It wasn't entirely surprising, given that he recently took a job as a head coach in the XFL, but former Oklahoma football coach Bob Stoops' role in the athletic department changed to a part-time one as of May 1.
Stoops voluntarily moved from being a full-time employee as a special assistant to athletic director Joe Castiglione to a half-time employee, according to the agenda for next week's OU Board of Regents meeting released Friday.
Stoops' salary was cut in half to $162,500 annually as part of the move. His contract will be for one year.
