STILLWATER — An Oklahoma State football player received $65 to place a female student and her friend on the pass list for last season’s homecoming game against Baylor.

That was among violations OSU reported to the NCAA in the past year, a routine check of such reports by The Oklahoman revealed. The player told OSU’s Office of Athletics Compliance he initially refused the request and returned the $65 the next day. The office became aware of the violation after the student made an offhand remark about buying the passes to an athletics department staff member, who then informed the office.

The football team received additional rules training, while the player made a $65 donation to the Susan G. Komen foundation and did not receive complimentary passes to the Cowboys’ next two games.

The majority of OSU’s violations were minor, and the primary repercussion was more education. Several violations related to coaches unknowingly communicating with prospective student-athletes or their families via text messages before they were able to do so; the penalty was often being unable to contact the PSA or his or her family until two weeks after it was first permissible, plus education on handling calls and texts from unknown numbers. The institution administered most penalties.
