High Noon Highlights (9/10): Furloughs and layoffs expected in Oklahoma State Athletics

It’s high noon...

Athletics takes financial hit:

Like many businesses during the pandemic, OSU athletics is having to figure out ways to make cuts in the budget. Unfortunately, that means employees taking furloughs and being laid-off. Athletic Director Mike Holder sent out a message saying the changes OSU would have to make as a result of lost revenue.

“These cuts were painful and not at all based on performance, Holder said. “They are byproducts of the unfortunate situation in which we find ourselves. I am especially thankful for the coaches that had the protection of a multi-year contract, but still volunteered to participate in the pay reductions.
