A day after wide receivers coach Cale Gundy resigned from the program, Oklahoma football coach Brent Venables confirmed that the ex-assistant used a "racially charged" word "multiple times" during a team film session prior to stepping down.

Venables didn't identify the word that Gundy used, but confirmed that he used it via a statement from the Oklahoma football program.

Gundy announced his resignation alongside a social media statement on Sunday acknowledging that he used "one particular word that I should never — under any circumstance — have uttered." Gundy — who likewise didn't identify the word — wrote that he said the word while reading aloud from a player's iPad.
