I don't know what happened but I know after the King Air crash in 2000 there was a lot of talk about the types of operations they use for their athletic program. In light of that, I would find a Piper Warrior to be an interesting mode of transportation for a recruiting trip.

Probably not a warrior, if it was, it's safe to say that the planes weight and balance was off.
So, what Piper aircraft was built in 1964 that can handle four people and luggage?

from the ESPN article:
After the 2001 crash, the university required that planes used by the school's sports team undergo safety checks before travel. Hargis said coaches were not bound by the same rules and that the school left such decisions to their discretion.

Yup. 1964 Pa28-181 Cherokee N7746W registered to a Mr. Olin Branstetter, apparently a long-time donor to the University. My first thought was, "4 adults and baggage in a Cherokee??... that can't be safe". No cause has been determined, but I will put money on a weight and balance issue.
Not a good day for the cowboys, considering this followed by their recent upset to Iowa State.
My condolences to the families of the lives lost. Even though we are rivals, everyone here at the University of Oklahoma is saddened.
