Ppl keep saying OU won’t match.
If you’re OU and you’re joining the SEC, why let your playoff HC walk without a fight?

I stated this a few days ago, OU believes their brand sells itself and they aren’t willing to overpay a HC because they never have. Problem with any type of salary match is the looming $76-$80 million buyout in the Big 12. This is a serious issue in the OU athletic department regardless of what any of their fans say. They are fronting that money to hopefully get that money back in the SEC but it won’t be immediate and the timing they get the money back depends on their immediate success in the SEC. So matching would mean essentially fronting $100 million or more just on a gamble that OU continues their dominance in the Big 12 in the SEC. The other side of that coin is Riley were to stay, this would create even more of a pressure cooker at OU. This is a topic of discussion in the OU AD.

Many of their fans don't think Riley is worth what it would take to match our offer. I have no idea what their donors think, but they may be thinking that they can get Huepel or Kiffin for less than that.
