The Morning Fade – 3.22.11

Intriguing study done by Kristi Dosh for Forbes on Big 12 athletic department (and football specific) profitability. (Forbes)

Ubben had a good synopsis of the numbers too. (ESPN)

Stoops is going to issue a Twitter ban for his team. I guess that’s what you have to do when your players are taking shots at their own athletic department. Will Gundy follow suit? I say no as long as @justblack81 doesn’t go all Jaz Reynolds on us. (News OK)

Incredible shot of Jimmer taking it to Gonzaga in the first round. (Sports Illustrated)

I don’t normally link OP but this thread on describing OSU’s season in 2 words or less is pretty funny. (oragnepower.com)

Great breakdown of what worked and what didn’t from the media end of things during the first week of the tournament. (The Dagger)

Cowboy baseball team returns to action tonight to face Arkansas Pine-Bluff. (okstate.com)

Really phenomenal story by Anthony Slater here on Matt Pilgrim. Again, you can’t read O’Colly stories though if you don’t have an okstate email address or pay $10 for a yearly subscription (which I just did). (O’Colly)

The Cowgirls hoops team was bounced last night too. As a former women’s scout team star participant I always like to see Budke’s teams play well. Dual NIT titles for the men and women would have been cool. (News OK)

OSU has a new kicker with the best name you’ve ever seen. (Tulsa World)
