... their actual history of a program, which experienced its heights of success when they were able to pay players more and in more ways than the competition.

Wilkinson was busted twice and eventually retired over the demise of his famous slush fund. They weren't so successful until...

Switzer had all kinds of things flowing through that program and it fell in a hail of investigations and penalties, and they wandered through a few coaches until...

Stoops got Big Red Sports'n'Imports and other businesses to give out no-show jobs to all sorts of recruits, among other exciting practices.

But he eventually sloped downward and retired as they got caught and things got stale, and now they're just not all that great and behind a lot of other programs with fresher coaches/approaches and in better conferences. The kids have figured out OU isn't a special gateway to the NFL anymore and are transferring to where they'll get coached and paid.
