Interesting Gibson quote

[BCSooners]

68 teams make the tournament every single year. We have the athletic department resources of a top 15 school in the nation. Making the tournament every year should be the absolute minimum expectation. It should be table stakes.

For basketball absolutely not.

 

[JBaker]

For basketball absolutely not.

We have the 15th highest paid head coach in the nation. We have one of the nicest athletics dorms in the nation. We have a brand new basketball facility a couple years ago.
We should be in the NCAA tournament without question every year. Kruger’s awful recruiting is making us lower expectations.

Compare to other top 50 programs & you are easily wrong.

For basketball absolutely not.

OU is tied for 13th all time in NCAA Tournament appearances.

What about that stat makes you think it shouldn't be a near given to make the Tournament most years? Over the life of the tournament, we've literally done it as many times or more times than all but 12 teams in the history of the Tournament.

Ok, if we narrow it down from every school to just the top 50 programs, Lon Kruger goes from 15th highest paid coach to... the 15th highest paid coach.

Does our basketball stadium suck? Yes. But we absolutely have the resources to where making the tournament should be our absolute floor.

Stating that OU has top 15 resources for basketball is wrong.

Other than being 20 years old, what's wrong with it?
Or were you being facetious?

24th highest paid

He’s 15th in terms of contracted pay by the university. 9 other coaches have endorsement, promotional, and camp contracts that bump their total income above his. But only 14 schools pay their basketball coach more than OU does.
