Report: Mayfield to contest NCAA over eligibility

For all the on-field successes Baker Mayfield has experienced in 2015 with Oklahoma, it is easy to forget how stressful the 2014 offseason was for Mayfield and his family.

Mayfield's transfer from Texas Tech to Oklahoma was nasty; Bob Stoops believed Mayfield should not have to sit out a year because he was a walk-on, Texas Tech initially blocked the transfer entirely and the final result was Mayfield being allowed to play for the Sooners but having to sit out the 2014 season.

As it stands, Mayfield has only played two full seasons but will have just one year of eligibility remaining after the 2015 season.
