Sorry if this has been posted...But it was posted on yahoo last night. If if pertains to what is going on with Gallon and Coach O then it has to be some good news.......

I don't know; from reading the story, the audit was intended to measure compliance in regards to practice time. They did mention the Gallon situation in the story but said that no documents had been released.

I saw it earlier today. I don't think it has anything to do with Gallon. The thing that caught my eye was this:

The university also disputed the NCAA’s suggestion that three men’s basketball players received preferential treatment by being allowed to participate in a voluntary summer workout for free during the offseason. The NCAA claimed others would have been charged $1,000 to attend. Oklahoma contended that only NBA players and players who have signed with an agent are charged for the workouts while members of the general public can participate for free.

That's when Taylor, Blake & Wright went to California to work out summer before last. The guy changes nothing to college or high school players and they have to pay their own room and board and the NCAA disputes it. Un-be-liev-able!

That's a bunch of bs! Frank charges NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING to high school and college kids and they all 3 stayed with Wright's family while there. I was there the whole time. Frank also doesn't necessarily charge everyone either as I never had to pay, just advertise for him on a banner and patch on my shorts.

This must be the reason Gallon decided not to go out himself as the NCAA is making stuff up. Gallon was headed there this summer but pulled out and I bet you that's why.

Quick-

You really seem to be in the know, so what's going on with the team right now? How are the players handling all this? Any chance anyone leaves? I'm getting really confused about this and should I panic?

As far as what's going on your guess is as good as mine. I am good friends with Taylor and Blake so that's why I know Frank doesn't charge for his workouts for high school and college athletes. Also Frank has trained me.

I do know a few of the players but none are really talking. I've become good friends with Tiny and he is in Norman and will be working out with him tomorrow. I haven't asked him about any of the allegations going on because its really none of my business. If he offers it up I will listen and any info I feel I can pass along I will definitely let everyone know.

I do know this, WW was by all reports staying from what I heard. Carter was also ours and was coming to Oklahoma. Then Coach O "resigns" and WW announces he is leaving for he NBA and Carter commits to Gonzaga. That screams to me something is not good. I'm not sure what exactly that is but it doesn't seem good at all.

I do know Tiny is a completely different person than when he walked on campus attitude wise. He is committed to Oklahoma and has started a new workout regimen and has mentioned several times he is excited about next year. I'm not sure what will happen with this money allegations going on but Tiny is preparing as if he will be in a Sooner uniform next year and so I believe he will. I would think if he thought he would not be he wouldn't be saying these things.

I agree!!! Thanks for the honest insight...

It would appear that all this mess is related to Coach O.

I remember the elation on this board when OU inked him.

You guys are most welcome, its why I came to this site and left OUI and is why I agreed to help out OUHoops who busts his butt to keep this site the best, even through the hard times.

Obviously there are some things I know that I don't feel comfortable sharing on a public message board but with nothing coming out on these issues I felt some of it had to be said.

I do want to take this opportunity to tell the current players and recruits that the Sooner Nation is behind you! These guys need our support more than ever right now!
