Self-supporting Sooners

The University of Oklahoma announced today that Sherri Coale's women's basketball team has been able to endow all 15 scholarships during a 30-month fund-raising campaign.

"We began the endowment program in 2005 with a goal of creating a perpetual source of funding for our women's basketball program," said Coale in a statement (that we actually believe the former English teacher uttered). "The full endowment of all 15 scholarships puts us in a position to achieve self-sufficiency, an accomplishment achieved by very few programs across the country."

Hopefully none of the donors take investment advice from OU football coach Bob Stoops.
