Oklahoma running back Kennedy Brooks is expected to return to the team Wednesday following the conclusion of a Title IX investigation that kept Brooks suspended for the summer.



The OU Title IX office cleared Brooks of any violation in an investigation that concluded Tuesday.



Multiple people familiar with the investigation told The Athletic that a female OU student alleged in a Title IX complaint earlier this summer that Brooks was physically violent toward her. Brooks, a Dallas-area native, remained in Norman while the investigation played out and worked out at a local high school.
