Oklahoma raises the skates in softball salary wars

After Arizona made Mike Candrea the highest-paid softball coach in the NCAA last month, about $500,000 per season, Oklahoma acted last week to change the pecking order. It gave coach Patty Gasso  a raise to $925,000 a year, which includes an annual $200,000 “stay bonus.” It also raised the salary of her son, Sooners assistant coach J.T. Gasso, from $83,000 to $125,000. That’s what OU-type football money makes possible.
