AUSTIN, Texas -- Oklahoma State notified Texas officials on Monday that it wants to take sworn statements from Longhorns coach Charlie Strong and offensive coordinator Shawn Watson about who is calling the plays at Texas.
The move stems from Oklahoma State's breach of contract lawsuit against former Cowboys assistant Joe Wickline, who is now on Strong's staff at Texas.
Oklahoma State is suing Wickline in Oklahoma for nearly $600,000 because it says he made a lateral move to Texas and didn't take a promotion with "play-calling duties" as stated in his previous contract. Wickline tried to countersue in Texas, but his claim was dismissed.

I think OSU is seriously feeling jilted. Since I am one of those people who think words and rules mean something, I hope OSU wins if the contract was/is broken. It seems a little hard to prove, though.
