Thanks for stopping by – here’s your daily dose of Oklahoma State sports news. OSU Bullets • Preview the Cowboys’ game against the Jayhawks in Stillwater tonight (PFB) • Mason Rudolph and Jaylen Warren led the Steelers in passing and rushing in their first-round playoff loss to the Bills (ESPN) • Five Thoughts on OSU’s east coast wrestling trip over the weekend (PFB) • Don’t love promoting thoughts like this but just as an FYI – here’s Mike Boynton’s contract situation: Boynton is under contract through the 2028 season, earning $2.5 million per year. The buyout for the university to terminate the contract would currently call for Boynton to be paid 75% of the remainder of the contract, or just under $8 million. On April 1, the buyout percentage drops to 66.67%, at which time Boynton will be owed $10 million, making the buyout $6.67 million.

It is time for Boynton to go, but I am really tired of seeing these coaches paid extremely well to fail. Contracts should be contingent on performance.
