NORMAN, Okla. -- 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.
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.
According to a letter sent to NCAA director of secondary enforcement Chris
Strobel, the university started an investigation after a player refused to
sign a weekly practice log and then provided Oklahoma's compliance director
with a recording of defensive backs coach Willie Martinez asking why he had
missed a voluntary workout.
The investigation found that receivers coach Jay Norvell and offensive line
coach James Patton also discussed attendance at the workouts with players,
and defensive tackles coach Jackie Shipp received reports from the strength
staff on who was participating.
Oklahoma also informed the NCAA that secondary violations occurred when
football players went through Pilates sessions in addition to their
offseason workouts, when strength coaches observed players' independent
agility training and when seven players were required to repeat a
conditioning drill. All three resulted the players going over the NCAA's
eight-hour weekly limit on guided offseason workouts.
Other violations included a handful of self-reported impermissible text
messages and phone calls by assistant coaches to recruits and their fathers,
and the team's website posting links to recruiting websites on signing day
last year.
The men's basketball team, which was on NCAA probation until May and is
again being investigated, also reported secondary violations resulting from
two assistant coaches placing two impermissible recruiting calls apiece and
three violations related to official visits by prospects. | b*****a
