When Oklahoma State coach Mike Boynton woke up Friday morning, he didn’t expect to call anyone to deliver shocking news.
But, as with many things in his career thus far, things didn’t go according to plan.
Boynton was tasked with telling his players, none of whom were affiliated with the university at all in 2017, that the NCAA was punishing OSU for Lamont Evans’ actions during his time at the school-- with one of the penalties resulting in a one-year postseason ban.
“I made a great effort when I got the news this morning to call every single player on our roster-- returning and incoming,” Boynton said.
