Amid Trevone Boykin and other news, Mike Gundy admits fear
Most in the college football world were shocked to hear of TCU star QB Trevone Boykin's arrest before the Alamo Bowl, and coaches around the country are always wary of what can happen in the days leading up to a bowl game.
That includes Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy, whose Cowboys will take on Ole Miss in the Sugar Bowl on Friday night.
“We have young people with the group, and incidents can happen,” Gundy said. “And we stress every day, multiple times, about preparing themselves for their life beyond football. And we want them to enjoy these times, but also understand that people are watching and to try to make the best decisions possible.
“I worry about and am always concerned with the players, because in most cases they make a mistake, but the outside world won’t see it that way. We have been very fortunate. Our players up to this point have done a great job. Very seldom is there a day go by in an environment like we’re in now that I or the coaches don’t tell them that we don’t appreciate them in the way that they’re taking care of themselves and representing Oklahoma State University.”
As a part of preparation week for New Orleans, Gundy had a police officer address his team about how to conduct themselves and how to avoid messy situations.
