(12/20) Heupel & Sooners? Stoops highest paid, and more

Oklahoma Football Notes and Articles

Heupel back as a Sooner? With the departure of Chuck Long, Bob Stoops is short an offensive coach. Kevin Wilson takes over as offensive coordinator, but speculation is that perhaps OU will fill its coaching vacancy with former quarterback Josh Heupel, now tight ends' coach for Mike Stoops in Arizona.

Oklahoma football graduation rate: Oklahoma graduated 51 percent of football players who started attending the university between 1995 and 1998, according to an NCAA report released Monday. The football team's Graduation Success Rate tied with Iowa State for ninth among the schools in the Big 12 Conference. Baylor had the highest success rate at 88 percent, and Texas had the lowest at 40 percent. Nationwide, Division I-A teams graduated an average of 65 percent of their football players who began school during the period, according to the NCAA. The GSR allows six years for players to graduate and includes athletes who transfer to a school while eliminating athletes who transfer away. (KTOK)

Stoops is top paid state employee: College coaches hold the top four spots on the list of best-paid state employees for 2004, with the University of Oklahoma's Bob Stoops leading the pack, according to a published report . Stoops, who leads the Sooners football team, earned more than $2.6 million; followed by Oklahoma State basketball coach Eddie Sutton with about $900,000, Oklahoma basketball coach Kelvin Sampson with more than $820,000 and former Oklahoma State football coach Les Miles with nearly $818,000, the Tulsa World reported Monday. The list comprises coaches and OU doctors. OU spokeswoman Catherine Bishop said Stoops' pay is derived completely from athletic department revenues, including money that Stoops receives from personal services such as television shows. OU President David Boren said since Stoops joined the Sooners, along with the men's and women's basketball coaches, "revenues in the athletic department have gone up substantially more than the amount of their salaries, which has allowed the athletic department to provide an approximate $1 million subsidy to academic programs."
