'Money's overrated': Mike Boynton remains frugal despite salary spike

STILLWATER — Sitting inside his Gallagher-Iba Arena office, one he thinks is bigger than it needs to be, Mike Boynton looked at his outfit for the day.

The Oklahoma State basketball coach wore a black OSU polo featuring black-and-gray stripes on the sleeves with a singular orange stripe near the cuff. It was one of Boynton's first purchases when he became an OSU assistant more than two years ago.

“I wear it probably once a week,” Boynton said. “There's like five shirts in my closet, man.”

He wasn't wearing his belt, a rarity for him, given that time has made the leather ragged and worn.
