UPDATE: Here's a quote from Joe Castiglione on the contract that was agreed to in February and then approved on Tuesday night by the BoR:
"We felt obviously that it's important for us to keep our commitment," OU athletics director Joe Castiglione said. "We're very, very understanding of the unique times that we're in, but in our normal proactive way, we started conversations back in early December that resulted in an agreement in principle in February.
"With that said, it's reflective of the marketplace. Most importantly, it allows Oklahoma, our program and our fans to have the certainty that our coaches are connected to us for an extended period of time."
