Arizona at OSU

With softball pitchers they need to throw more than baseball. They throw 100 a day plus drills anyway

Did she hurt her arm?

Did she hurt her arm?

Top of the 7th she was trying to catch a come backer but it hit her pitching hand. She immediately dropped her glove and walked to the dugout asking for a trainer. She finishing the game though. Might have just been jammed finger.

Ok. Thanks

 

[Chairman of the Board]

3-1 on the week..including beating OU and winning a series against Arizona. Thats a pretty productive week. Should put us back into the hosting conversation

I’ll be in the minority..if she wants the ball and she’s healthy…give her the ball. This is who we are, we go as Ruby goes!!

I mean, if she pitches, let's go.

We have Tulsa next Tuesday, maybe she rests then.

I want to see Downing get more of a chance, and not get pulled because she gives a couple of runs in the first.

 

[Chairman of the Board]

Ok. Thanks

It was eerie, the whole stadium went silent for about 30 seconds.

Yeah, her initial reaction was very concerning.
Was glad to see her shake it off and smile, but it took a nervous couple minutes

I wouldn’t mind downing getting the ball…at this point try something different.

of note, too, thars not NIL, the that's operating budget

 

[ThePoke]

Would like to see the revenue as well.

 

[Chairman of the Board]

Oklahoma State softball operates as one of the top-funded programs nationally, with total operational spending reported at approximately $3.48 million in 2023, ranking among the top 5-10 highest-spending programs in the country. This budget supports competitive salaries, travel, and elite facilities for the Big 12 program.

• Spending Ranking: In 2023, Oklahoma State's softball budget of $\approx$$3.48M placed it among top programs like Oklahoma, Florida State, and Tennessee.
• Context: While Oklahoma (OU) leads nationally with over $6–$7 million in expenses, Oklahoma State (OSU) maintains a high-tier budget, generally exceeding the average SEC/P4 conference spend for softball

This link apparently has the whole list but its a pay site

Are there public audits for these top 10 teams?
Are expenses also NIL payments or is that separate?
$3-8M is a lot of money to take 20 girls to Myrtle Beach or Tuscaloosa or Gainesville to play some weekend games. Where is that money going towards because that’s a huge disparity between these top 10 and the remainders
