OU Football: Signing Day
Instead of the players who signed with the Sooners on Wednesday being the talk of the day, the suspensions were.
The suspensions were first reported by SoonerScoop.com.
Riley was asked directly if any players would be suspended for the game.
“I’m aware of the report that’s out there,” Riley said. “Unfortunately at this time, I cannot comment on that.”
Twice more during his 30-minute press conference, Riley was asked about potential suspensions. Both times he declined to elaborate further.
Sources indicated that the suspensions were due to failed NCAA drug tests, though there’s a chance to appeal those results and to have those appeals heard before the game.
