STILLWATER — An Oklahoma State football player received $65 to place a female student and her friend on the pass list for last season’s homecoming game against Baylor.
That was among violations OSU reported to the NCAA in the past year, a routine check of such reports by The Oklahoman revealed. The player told OSU’s Office of Athletics Compliance he initially refused the request and returned the $65 the next day. The office became aware of the violation after the student made an offhand remark about buying the passes to an athletics department staff member, who then informed the office.
