So it appears ou has cast out some offers to players who don't seem to be much more than warm bodies at this level, particularly at LB.

Is it time for ou to begin making scholarships a year to year contract like many other programs?

The primary reason for this change in philosophy being the fact that ou is not in the position to ever turn down a 4-star or better prospect. It appears ou has done just that in several situations this season alone, which may come back to haunt them. Tyree Horton, sci Martin, quartney, et al...

There's no loyalty in college football anymore, so the concern over negative recruiting over this practice doesnt hold as much water. If you are a top 3-4 program, kids will want to come play for you no matter what.

Since it is clear that ou is averse to paying recruits to come here, we need to run this program like the semi-professional team that it is, for all intents and purposes.
