Mike Holder Quotations

We regret the errors and took the necessary steps to notify the NCAA and correct the problem. None of our coaches did anything inappropriate.

He's got some fairly serious injuries. He needs to get healthy. That's what we said in the press release.

Our coaches have been asked about the scholarship reduction as they recruit so we wanted to set the record straight. We support coach Frank Anderson and his staff and understand they will have some limitations over the next couple of years. We are committed to provide every resource possible to help our baseball program be successful under these circumstances.

While we look forward to Coach Sutton rejoining the team as soon as possible, we want him to take whatever time he needs to fully heal.

We won't see many cattle turned out to the pastures before the end of April this year. The grass just isn't greening up. It's too dry.

We all want what's best for Coach Sutton and wish him a speedy recovery. His dedication to college basketball and Oklahoma State University is unquestioned and his tireless effort on behalf of the institution is sincerely appreciated.

Somebody needed to do something. We needed to make up our mind if we were going to be serious about competing in this (Big 12) conference.

Coach Sutton will continue to heal and that is something we will discuss at the appropriate time.

This isn't just about football or basketball or our major sports. It's about every sport, giving every coach here and every athlete here the opportunity to strive for excellence.

It's all his money, and he's on the investment committee. If a person's making a gift of that size, he can stipulate what he wants it in.

I try to simulate the most difficult conditions the players will encounter during competition.
