Gundy: 'We should be doing cartwheels' over light NCAA penalties
After a lengthy investigation, the NCAA Committee of Infractions announced last week that Oklahoma State's football program would be placed under probation for one year for violations.
While that puts OSU on watch, it's a relatively light punishment for the Cowboys, especially considering that they didn't receive a scholarship reduction or postseason ban.
"Whenever I'm finished coaching, then I'll really comment on what I feel," head coach Mike Gundy reacted to the news to the Tulsa World. "We should be doing cartwheels, really."
"(The joint investigation) cost this university and the NCAA, I don't know ... let’s just say a half-million dollars in (investigating) unfounded information and reports," he added. "There's a panic mode that goes on when something like (the Sports Illustrated series) happens. The reports that came out were, to me, somewhat laughable."
When asked how many other college football programs he thought would emerge as relatively unscathed as Oklahoma State did after a thorough investigation, Gundy is convinced OSU is in the minority.
"You're asking me how many would turn out as clean as us?" he said. "Less than 20 percent."
