The Oklahoma State Regents met Wednesday to decide on several items concerning the University.
Oklahoma coaches received the largest benefit from Wednesday's Regents meeting. Football head coach Bob Stoops will receive a raise, bringing his salary to $3.675 million per season. Also approved was an $800 thousand stay bonus if Stoops remains the head coach in 2010.
Men's Basketball coach Jeff Capel will receive a raise as well, totaling $1.5 million per season. He will also receive a stay bonus and national title bonus.
The Regents also approved a flat tuition rate with no mandatory fees, and extended President David Boren's contract to Nov. 30, 2014.
OU has received funding to build a new health clinic in Tulsa, which will be named after late Sooner Wayman Tisdale.
More details on the Regents meeting will be updated soon.

Thankfully, it is worth noting, our Athletics Department is totally privately funded. One of few in the country to do so.
