发帖数: 764 | 1 Oklahoma admitted Thursday that it committed two major rules violations in
its men's basketball program as it asked the NCAA for leniency despite its
second serious infractions case in the past five years.
Under NCAA bylaws, a "repeat violator" can face a minimum of having the
sport dropped for one or two seasons with no scholarships provided for two
seasons. The NCAA infractions committee has the authority to override such a
designation.
In a summary disposition report put together jointly with NCAA investigators
, the school conceded that it does qualify under the description of repeat
violator -- having two major infractions cases within five years in the same
sport -- but said previous cases show those penalties "are not appropriate
in this case."
"This is an isolated incident involving a single member of the coaching
staff, who clearly knew his lack of action to prevent or report the
violation was not acceptable," the university said.
Instead, Oklahoma asked the NCAA to place the program on two more years of
probation, vacate its wins from a 13-18 season in 2009-10 and take away one
scholarship, two official visits and 10 in-person recruiting days during the
upcoming academic year.
Athletic department spokesman Kenny Mossman said the school had no
additional comment after releasing the 430-page report.
The violations occurred while the Sooners were still on probation for major
rules violations involving recruiting phone calls by former coach Kelvin
Sampson in a case that ended in 2006 and major infractions involving
football players being paid for work they weren't doing at a Norman car
dealership in a 2007 case.
There were also major rules violations by the men's and women's gymnastics
teams considered in the football case.
In the latest case, the school said former assistant coach Oronde Taliaferro
broke NCAA rules by failing to report that a player had received an
impermissible extra benefit and by lying to Oklahoma and NCAA enforcement
staff during the investigation.
The heavily redacted report does not show the player's name, but former
center Keith "Tiny" Gallon has said in interviews that he took $3,000 from a
Florida financial adviser to pay for his high school transcripts and allow
him to attend college. Taliaferro's phone records link him to the adviser,
Jeffrey Hausinger, and Hausinger even offered in an email to allow
Taliaferro to stay with him.
In a partially redacted statement provided by Taliaferro for the report, he
said he did wrong and calls it a "lapse in judgment" that he made out of
compassion. He describes how the case is similar to how his father was
murdered in Detroit when he was 6 years old.
"I know all too well about running into walls and watching my own mother
fight to help get me to a better place. It is hard to not have compassion
for other's struggles," Taliaferro wrote. "Sometimes good people make a poor
decision, and that's what happened with everyone involved in this
particular matter. That does not excuse anything at all."
Taliaferro resigned last year when it became clear he'd be implicated in the
NCAA investigation.
Former coach Jeff Capel is not implicated in the violations. He was fired in
March and replaced by Lon Kruger. | d*****e
