#5: Central Oklahoma AD Stan Wagnon chats with The Oklahoman’s Joe Mussatto about the Bronchos’ future and says of a possible jump to DI: “There’s probably a study somewhere on a shelf that we could point back too. We probably need to pull it off the shelf and say, ‘Where are we now?’ […] It’s all up in the air until we get that clarity of what’s gonna happen at the highest level. […] I think you’re going to see us use athletics to better the overall brand and identity of the university. Whether that entails moving to Division-I or not, I don’t think we’ve answered that question … but we’re willing to ask the question and then answer it for ourselves.” On the state of DII: “The Division-II membership now is not what it used to be. Most of the new schools coming into Division-II don’t look like UCO. There’s a lot of them that are private, there’s a lot of them that don’t play football, so I think it’s wise for us to pay attention to the landscape and be ready for the next opportunity that comes our way.” Asked about President Todd Lamb’s aspirations for UCO: “I think he has aspirations for UCO and what it could become. We’re the third-largest university in the state, and I think he wants us to start acting like it.” (link)
