Joe Castiglione’s tenure is certainly one of great merit with eight national championships and 60 conference titles, including seven in the 2012-13 academic year. An all-time best finish of seventh in the annual Director’s Cup standings following the 2012-13 academic year adds to his Sooner story. So does the kind of academic performance that produced a combined grade point average of more than 3.00 among the nearly 600 OU student-athletes and a record 151 graduates in 2013.
