Dr. George Cross was the president at OU from 1943 thru 1968. His term is the longest term for any OU president. He was president thru Bud Wilkinson’s historical run of three national championships and the 47 game winning streak. Perhaps, his most famous quote was, “We someday hope to have a university the football team can be proud of.” I wonder what Dr. Cross would say upon watching this video?
To date, I’ve only been able to discover one newspaper in the United States which agrees with how OU handled the Joe Mixon situation, and of course, that’s the Daily Oklahoman which the Gaylord family previously owned. You can have all the national merit scholars in the world, but if you don’t have any character in your leadership it makes no difference in the end.
