Pledger suspended for Friday's game.

[garyeb2]

Our compliance department really is a joke. Always lagging behind. It makes perfect sense for a player to need permission to participate in a pro-am game yet somehow a junior on our team either didn't know it or blew it off. Based on our sloppy history I would guess Pledger was not properly informed of the rules.

NCAA might really slam us for the Gallon stuff. It just never ends.

I would guess that Pledger blew it off.

The article on SI.com says
"Pledger failed to correctly submit an electronic form with the compliance department to get permission to play in the game" which implies that Pledge did try.
Not trying to defend him too much as he should have verified he was ok but I have had the odd problem here and threre with "online" forms. If he as obeying the rules and it was just an e-problem OU should be OK.

You couldn't be more wrong about our compliance department. After the bomar/big red situation OU did something that is pretty much unheard of... they moved compliance OUT of athletics and placed it under the legal department. We now have the most stringent and organized compliance department in the country. Most compliance departments are in athletics so they are ripe for being pushed around or ignored all together. Not at OU.

Our legal department gets several calls every week from other universities inquiring about how we do compliance AND in fact, some coaches and administrators that leave OU for other jobs are known to call OUR legal department to get advice and confirmation regarding compliance rules even while they are at their new jobs.

What this results in is a larger number of reported compliance incidents at OU... but it's not due to negligence.... in fact, it's quite the opposite. What you are seeing is a compliance department that is actually doing its job better than all its peers.

Say what you will about OU's past when it comes to living by the NCAA's rules... but you can rest assured that things are now done strictly by the rule book at OU or they aren't done at all.

Well they suck at their job because we continue to have infractions on a regular basis.

Since when has turning things over the the "lawyers" worked out well? See congress.
