Oklahoma's DeMarco Murray Suspended for Recruiting Violations
The Sooners' running backs coach faces a one-game suspension after contacting prospects outside permissible periods.
- Murray made 65 impermissible phone calls and 36 text messages to 17 prospects over 16 months.
- The violations occurred due to Murray's misunderstanding of an expired COVID-19 waiver for recruiting rules.
- Oklahoma's football program has imposed several self-penalties, including reduced recruiting days.
- The NCAA has placed Oklahoma on a one-year probation and fined the university $5,000.
- Head coach Brent Venables avoided suspension as he was not directly involved in the infractions.
