The following violation was self reported by Oklahoma.
May 10, 2013
Violation: Three current student-athletes received food in excess of NCAA regulation at a graduation banquet. The three had graduated from the school but returned for an additional season of competition. The players were provided pasta in excess of the permissible amount allowed. Resolution: The three were required to donate $3.83 each (the cost of the pasta serving) to a charity of their choice in order to be reinstated. The department provided rules education to applicable athletics department staff members.
For what its worth, two of the 3 players donated five bucks rather than the $3.83 demanded by the University in its self imposed penalty. The NCAA subsequently ruled that there are NO rules on the amount of pasta that may be eaten. No word on whether the 3rd player made a donation. the NCAA is sending a team of investigators to look into it, but preliminary its ruling is that Ryan Boatright must sit out 2 games.
