OSU Bullets

• The top 25 OSU sports teams since the year 2000 – you can see the debate behind the rankings here (PFB)

• Previewing the Arizona-OSU football game this fall (PFB)

• One of the bigger names in college wrestling spent some time in Stillwater with David Taylor and broke down why he’s been successful. These comments on NIL were super enlightening.

Lastly, (Jordan) Burroughs pointed out that while most college coaches are having to deal with the transition to the NIL era, it’s all that Taylor has coached in. That type of understanding helps and so does the fact that Paycom CEO Chad Richison is involved. “A lot of older coaches that have been in the game a long time, they’ve had to actively try to make terms and come to grips with the fact that they’ve gotta pay athletes most of the time more money than they’re making as a coach,” Burroughs said. “That’s really hard. It’s a hard mental transition for these guys, but for him, it’s all he knows. And he’s got a blank checkbook, which helps as well.” [PFB]
