Breaking News: Sports Illustrated's Report on Oklahoma State

Sports Illustrated has just completed a 10-month investigation into Oklahoma State's football program and the results are very damaging.  SI's report, a forthcoming five-part series of articles, alleges that "widespread corruption" occurred between the 2000 and 2011 seasons.  The violations at Oklahoma State included payments to players from football staff and boosters, recreational drug use, academic dishonesty, a hostess program named "Orange Pride" that used sex to convince recruits to join the program, and stories of players who felt they were exploited by their coaches.  The video provided by Sports Illustrated summarizes their full report, which will be released over the next few days.  The Howell Report will post links to these articles as they are posted on SI's website.
