keep in mind that T Boone Pickens did not like Miles (Miles was resistant to Pickens infleunce on the program) and T Boone Pickens loved Gundy (a HC he knew he could control with his wallet) so once Pickens said it was ok to let Miles go to LSU, as far as OSU was concerned it was over with anyway.
Pickens donated $70mm in 2003 but he donated $165mm on December 30, 2005 but it was placed in a hedge fund that Pickens controlled through his BP Capital Management.
Read into that what you will

quote:
On ESPN's Pardon the Interruption, Michael Wilbon said that after these gifts, Pickens "is now the owner of Oklahoma State athletics", and remarked that "no coach should dare run afoul of Pickens now...He's got everyone in Stillwater in his pocket, which is dangerous."
