Daily Bullets (July 22): Lutz on Life with NIL at OSU, Desmond Mason Charged

Thanks for stopping by – here’s your daily dose of Oklahoma State sports news. 

OSU Bullets

• Steve Lutz talked about life coaching at OSU in the NIL era – among other differences (PFB)

• Desmond Mason was charged yesterday with multiple fraud charges after not delivering art he was paid to make (News 9)

• Loved that the odds showed OSU winning at least 6 games, simulating through the season 100 times:

Chances of winning X games: Speaking of bowls, OSU won at least six regular season games in 56% of the simulations. Here’s how that breaks down further (again, only regular season wins):

at least one win — 100%
at least two wins — 100% (better than last year)
at least three wins — 98%
at least four wins — 91%
at least five wins — 76%
at least six wins — 56%
at least seven wins — 31%
at least eight wins — 14%
at least nine wins — 6%
at least 10 wins — 1%
more than 10 wins — 0%  [PFB]
