"What's Up in OU Athletics" was first aired on Sunday February 29th 2004. Our Guest was Joe Castiglione, O.U. Athletic Director. Our topics included:- Revamping of BCS
- Current format includes agreement between six conferences and four bowls bringing six-conference champions and two at large teams to play in the Orange, Sugar, Rose and Fiesta Bowls
- Much controversy about this - what, if anything, should be done
- Why doesn't the NCAA have a prescribed method to designate a champion like it does in every other sport
- Pay for play
- Athletes generate revenue for the University with their athletic participation - should they receive some sort of compensation for this activity
- What do they get now - athletic scholarship - at the University of Oklahoma, what does that value
- What about schools where athletics are not self-supporting
- What about minor sports
- Does he anticipate any change in the current system
- What kind of "Wizard of Oz" formula does he have for selecting a coach
- Does he keep a running list all the time
- What is his role in the selection of head coaches - assistant coaches
- What kind of background checks or resume vetting does he do
- Recruiting scandals - furnishing questionable entertainment/activity to recruits
- Is this a problem generally - what about at Oklahoma
