Speaking with ESPN during Big 12 media days Tuesday, Gundy said the best thing for Oklahoma State after Ollie Gordon II’s arrest was for Gordon to play.
Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy speaks during the Big 12 NCAA college football media days in Las Vegas, Tuesday, July 9, 2024.during Big 12 media days in Las Vegas. “I’m going to do what we think is best for Oklahoma State football. And I think it’s best for Ollie to play. If there’s any punishment, it’s making him carry the ball 50 times in the first game.
“Is suspending him for one game really going to matter? I don’t think so. Suspending him for six games maybe? Maybe that’d do it, but then I don’t think that’s fair for everybody else on our team, and I have to take them into consideration,” Gundy said. “Ollie’s a great person that made a mistake.”“In Oklahoma, the legal limit is 0.08 and Ollie was 0.1, and I looked it up and it was based on body weight.
Media days will continue Wednesday with appearances from remaining schools, including Colorado’s Deion Sanders, Baylor’s Dave Aranda and Houston’s Willie Fritz..
