Oklahoma State has announced that the NCAA has blocked it from putting QR codes on the football team's helmets linking to the general team fund for all players on the team.

Oklahoma State beat writer McClain Baxley of 247Sports relayed the school's release on the matter.

"Oklahoma State interprets the QR code stickers as institutional decals permitted under NCAA bylaws," the release reads in part.

"The NCAA interprets the QR code stickers as advertising and/or commercial marks, which are not permitted."

The news dropped right before Oklahoma State was set to begin its season at home against South Dakota State, the reigning Division I-FCS champions.
