Oklahoma’s Holistic Athletic Vision | College Basketball News

Oklahoma’s new athletic director, Roger Denny, is redefining collegiate sports by keeping athletics deeply woven into the university’s mission—not separating them. He views student-athletes as more than competitors, seeing their education and personal growth as central to his vision. With strong backing from President Joseph Harroz Jr., Denny is investing in holistic support—from nutrition and recovery to academics—helping 500 student-athletes thrive both on and off the field. Already in his first six months, he’s seen national titles in women’s gymnastics and baseball, proving Oklahoma’s excellence spans beyond football. Denny believes OU uniquely embodies the “everything school” ethos, aiming to build a powerhouse athletic program that celebrates every sport—and every student’s potential.
