Oklahoma State athletic department officials discovered this summer the recent graduation of a student-athlete from the 1990s. The addition of the delayed graduation point pushed the Cowboys above the threshold for restriction, according to OSU’s Senior Associate Athletic Director for Compliance Kevin Fite.

Arguably the nicest thing the Texas coach said about his football team during Big 12 media days: “We’re not as bad as we used to be.” And by the look on his chiseled face, he wasn’t trying to be funny.
