Joe Mixon video makes it clear: Bob Stoops, Oklahoma put wins over integrity

For Oklahoma football, winning means more than everything. Even if it comes at the cost of common sense and decency.

That’s the takeaway after a 2014 video was released showing OU running back Joe Mixon punching Amelia Molitor unconscious : As long as you have talent and help a team win games, you can get away with knocking women out cold.

How could coach Bob Stoops — who watched the footage himself before deciding whether Mixon would have a place on the football team — allow him back? The punch he threw at Molitor would have resulted in criminal assault charges in any other case.
