After an internal investigation conducted by OSU athletic director Mike Holder and OSU deputy athletic director Chad Weiberg that spanned several weeks, Oklahoma State determined that Mike Gundy “needs to invest more time” in building relationships with his players.
The results were announced Thursday that provided a clear path for Gundy to gain back trust and respect from his athletic department and from his players, but on Friday it was announced that Gundy will take a substantial hit financially, too. Mike Holder confirmed Friday in a news conference with reporters that Gundy’s five-year rollover contract was shortened to a four-year contract, and that Gundy is taking a $1 million (voluntary) paycut.
