This is your friendly reminder that the NCAA has some absurd guidelines.
On Monday, Ryan Aber of The Oklahoman reported that OU Athletics has self-reported a number of secondary violations across multiple sports. The violations include the following:
- Legendary Oklahoma Sooners softball coach Patty Gasso replied “Same to you” to a “Merry Christmas” text sent by a prospective student athlete. Apparently, Gasso replied to the holiday text without actually knowing who it was coming from, which is pretty relatable.
- Lincoln Riley sent a text to a prospective student-athlete during a time period in which OU Athletics was serving its electronic correspondence penalty.
