This is Oklahoma

athletics. Not only do OU teams consistently perform

winning championships is admired.
The success of OU's teams contribute to a sense of
pride in the community and across the state. The very

From the Director of Athletics
The pride in our program goes beyond the trophies and
victories to the very things for which we stand. Throughout
the department, OU's student-athletes, coaches and
staff members are committed to our core values, a set
of beliefs we use in making every decision.
Those values
include respect, accountability for self and others,
passion for comprehensive excellence, celebration of
diversity and integrity in all our affairs.
Our commitment to these values allows us to view everything
we do within the greater framework of our mission statement
-- inspiring champions today and preparing leaders
for tomorrow.
Like a mosaic, our combined commitment
to the core values creates the picture of who we are
as people and as Sooners. It helps us understand that
we are a small part of the legacy of excellence that
is Intercollegiate Athletics at the University of Oklahoma.
