Mike Gundy cried poor to the media before playing Oregon in Week 2, revealing that Oklahoma State spent “around $7 million” on its team while “I think Oregon spent close to $40 million last year alone.” Now, after a 69-3 beating in Eugene on Saturday, the folks in Stillwater may start scrounging up money, not to close Gundy’s speculated $33 million deficit, but to find a way out of his contract, which runs through 2028.
If Oklahoma State decided to fire Gundy after this season, his 21st at the helm for the Cowboys, the program would owe him $15 million.
