Manatee Power They are getting paid. It’s called a free education. Did you miss seeing the players facilities? What they have access to? It ain’t exactly skid row.
handello because if you walk around a college campus and notice facilities the schools has, especially the athletic facilities, you noticed there named after the biggest donors. That’s how an Oil man got his alma mater to name their stadium after him.
I was an athlete with the Track and Field team in 1980 era and guess what, the facilities were not like they are today, thank you OU for the scholarship and the degree! Boomer!!
I feel it but, they take good care of those players the right way and give them one of the best experiences of their lives with those type of facilities
Great little tour! I wish ESPN would keep their programming more along these lines. I don't like it when they push their brand of "social science." We want sports, not your views ESPN.
Their gonna need a much bigger heisman wall. My favorite, who even tho he is before my time is Billy Sims. I have hung out and talked to him many times and he is such a cool and down to earth guy! I am hoping to take a tour of the facilities soon!
Only thing missing was my banner in my room that states 7 time champ. 50/55/56... 74/75.. 85.. 00..... Time for number 8!!!!... Bud won 3.. Switz won 3. Stoops win one. Now Riley turn baby... Oh and all our titles are legit not fantasy like some teams. We can claim 18 but that's not Oklahoma style
Folks on here saying student tuition is paying for this are really ignorant. OU football right now is making about $100 million per year, which is the reason top programs are spending so much on these facilities and any other recruiting advantage they can get. Football is paying for the school....not the other way around.
Well I've been a sooner fan since Bud, and people have always supported these players. Oil money used to be the donations. It's the first time I've seen this and it's impressive.
Statues cast in Mexico might I add, when The Crucible Foundry one of America's premier top 3 full scale bronze castings foundries that is located in Norman literally 3 miles from OU. Alas they would rather cheap out the Statue's then give business to a reputable in state Foundry.
And how does the University pay for all this? HOW MUCH of the incoming revenue is distributed to the student-players actively on the team roster? Yeah... I thought so SMH
Yayrwe who? OSU? They’ve had 6 years out of the past 20 years of 10 plus wins. That’s 30%. Below par, when it comes to winningest programs in 20 years.
If not getting paid is free tuition to a major university, access to facilities like this, free room and board, etc, then I am not sure I want to get paid anymore either.
How can a business be a billion dollars in debt and still be allowed to exist? Then again, how can an entire country be trillions of dollars in debt and continue to keep adding to it? These two things seem to be very bad investments. If you're spending money you don't have, you aren't spending money. I can't wait to see what happens when this bubble of non-reality bursts.
The academic and athletic departments are their own departments. The athletic department is self sustaining, the academic department is the one in debt
Judge "I believe whatever pops up on the internet" Dredd - PLEASE, show me an OFFICIAL accounting that shows OU is a billion dollars in debt. You will never find it because it doesn't exists. You are truly clueless. And once again (since you're clearly slow), OU didn't go a single dime in debt for the football facility upgrades. Good God you're an idiot.
I will never understand why players think they should get paid to play college football...They have everything they need on campus and in the football facilities. A barber shop....really?
That's bullshit. College football coaches are MUCH more powerful than NCAA officials. If Nick Saban or Urban Meyer were to go to the NCAA tomorrow and demand players be allowed compensation, they would allow it in a second. The whole "they could if they would. but they can't" is an obnoxious lie, and you would have to be a daft moron to buy that.
Also, the players don't "have" anything. They get to use the universities property for a few years and then never get to use it again after they graduate. It would be like if I hired you for a job, not pay you any money, and instead letting you live in an apartment I own, and the second you quit or I fired you, I kicked you out and you have no assets to show for your work. You think that's fair? Actually forget that, that's not even fucking legal.
Football programs like Oklahoma are completely self sufficient. The ticket sales alone bring in +$40 mil a year and that doesn't include donations. That $146 mil renovation came exclusively from wealthy donors and not the university. The excess cost of tuition goes to the pockets of bureaucrats. Still getting ripped off just not by the football team lol
The athletic department supports itself (including the revenue sports contributing to the non-revenue sports) and contributes some back to the general university funds.
Imagine being a senior the year before they renovated this lmao
Not a sooner fan but that's one classy facility. Including the coach's office. Classy.
paritoshdayalrajput - classy comment.
Out Nabout classy reply
@@nukewithhonor Classy outlook
That office is absolutely nuts !! I’m a Oregon fan we have dope facilities but these are insane !!

There are people calling it "amateur sports" with a straight face?
Because it is...
Exactly. Just go back to this video when coaches complain that they "cant afford to play the players".

damn I can't believe oklahoma's head coach turned 35 back in September! For a man in his mid thirties, he's living good!
I like how he ended with you can't hide money #Paytheplayers
Marty,is a gangster.

They pay the players in a form of free education...

These college football facilities are insane...
Every big Time school has amazing facility’s
I didn't know these boys had it like this...state of the art no doubt...better then some pro teams
K Vinche - tell that to Rush Limbaugh. He's hung up on cheap uniforms.
That is surreal! It’s good to be Lincoln Riley
Marty Smith is the most fascinating man in the world. He only drinks the best 🍺. He ⛵ on Yachts . He is an 🇺🇸 treasure.
David Ellis he also went to the best college. Go Radford

I don't know if words can describe these facilities. Incredible? Awesome? Phenomenal?
I’m from Texas and I approve this facility
It passes with flying colors
Every game counts in college football!!! Keep it that way. !!!!
Who's lifting that 🤔👀😱😂
Perine
Obo
Booki
Sermon
Ford
Look at 3:36, there's a Bird scooter just chillin
No wonder certain teams play how they play, treat them like champions they play and “win” as champions. That’s why Alabama is so excellent.
Locker room didnt look like this when I played. Wow
You played at OU?

His office is almost as big as my house. Crazy.
My house is 1450 sqft so his office IS bigger than my house...

When are you doing Oklahoma state?
It's all about the student athlete
Riley’s office is larger than my house lol. By sq. footage that is.
I like that countdown until kickoff.
When you realise this is a stadium and not a palace😱
Oddly enough, the nickname of the stadium is The Palace on The Prairie lol
Awesome!
beautiful gym space
More than money guides my Sooners. "Fan Since 1964"
Looks cozy
I was fortunate enough to tour this facility! Check out my vlog from that day here: th-cam.com/video/HX9SieFtrIA/w-d-xo.html
No Disrespect to the SEC or Clemson but we play some football in Oklahoma 2! Wish we played more Defense lol but we definitely play some offense
I am really surprised the football players have to share the weight room with other sports, thats unusual for a program like OU.
Chuck r not really. That’s actually what most programs do.
Name a program that doesnt

This is where my tuition went to 🙃🙃🙃
TEXAS!!! 🤘🤘🎄
I wonder if the medical wing of the university has these type of facilities for future doctors and professional medical people
They do
I read the title as Morty Smith, but this clearly isn't rick and morty lol
This is crazy
In the Switzer Center, the laundry is green and the juice bar doesn't have anything to do with fruit.
Nothing but jelly in your cupboards. LOL
Head coach office was sweet, but honestly I've seen better facilities...Oregon and Nebraska has to be the best I've seen on youtube.
phiilp henderson Nebraska’s are old
2016 is old?
You would think they could win some national championships with all the money they spent on that fancy facility.
And how does the University pay for all this? HOW MUCH of the incoming revenue is distributed to the student-players actively on the team roster? Yeah... I thought so SMH
Why talk about the track team and having that ability?
Not a single player on the Oklahoma team should complain about not getting paid with a facility like that
Why not - a fancy dressing room is not money in the bank for the player.
That’s not no locker room. That a five star hotel.
Where are the other championship trophies and Heisman trophies
In a display room in the front of the facility
Why does Lincoln Riley have Bakers Heisman trophy? Doesn't the player get to keep it?
The school gets a replica version, player gets the original.
1:02 wierd flex but ok
My man just casually walks past the J's. Smh
Really? Where you been??
Pay the players and let them pay for all these perks themselves
You should go an hour north to Stillwater to see a what a quarter billion dollar facility looks like if you’re impressed with OU’s.

All that money wasted on a garbage team lmfao

Well, Unless you are a VOYEUR than Yes OR Even if you are part of the MEDIA, some Colleges doesn't the Media to be in the Locker Room.
You have to get PERMISSION to record specific things or else that is UNETHICAL...

Go Oklahoma State cowboys
Oklahoma state cowgirls huh? Lol
Wow
Baker Mayfield should be able to keep his own Heisman Trophy instead of the coach
I think they make one for the player and one for the school
Evan Pricco after he blew a 31-14 lead a choked hell no he shouldn’t keep anything
It’s amazing what you can afford when you don’t pay your workers
They pay the coaching staff and the players very well...so what are you talking bout?
I watch bob stoops when he starts than retire
I've just become a jealous Longhorn 🤓
and yet they cant seem to get defensive talent. As an OU fanatic, i just dont get it...
And they say players shouldn't be paid with a straight face. Damn!!
Not all universities could afford to pay their players! I'm game, but i'm sure the smaller universities would have to give up football or drop down!
If not getting paid is free tuition to a major university, access to facilities like this, free room and board, etc, then I am not sure I want to get paid anymore either.

So these facilities are not for athletes use? I would totally understand it if the money was being used elsewhere.
Agreed. But until the NCAA mandates some rule changes, they’re stuck.

Stoned Advice 420 - plus they DO pay the players.
Out Nabout yeah they started paying them in 2015 but before that they paid them under the table

At least 50% of their tuition. At least.

-$1,000,000,000 in debt. The football program had better step it up if they're going to be the saviors of the school!!!
