NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Oklahoma’s football team has been required to give players a week off from athletic training during the offseason after reporting a series of secondary NCAA rules violations related to offseason workouts.
The Sooners reported to the NCAA that four assistant coaches had improperly questioned players about their lack of participation in voluntary offseason workouts, and that some players had been working out more than the allowed eight hours per week.
The violations were included in documents released to The Associated Press on Tuesday following an open records request.
Other violations included a handful of self-reported impermissible text messages and phone calls by assistant coaches to recruits and their fathers.
