STILLWATER, Okla. -- Oklahoma State has
reported several minor violations of NCAA rules in the past two years, a
newspaper reported Sunday.
Among the violations, two football graduate assistants failed to enroll
in enough courses at Oklahoma State and a school vice president
improperly agreed to have an advertisement hung on a gym wall, according
to a story in Sunday's editions of the Oklahoman.
Graduate assistants David Rausch and Chris McCurry violated an NCAA
bylaw by not being enrolled in at least 50 percent of the institution's
minimum hours during the 2003-04 school year, the newspaper reported. In
response, a letter of admonishment was issued and corrective measures
were taken to monitor graduate assistants' enrollment hours.
Oklahoma State vice president Michael Heintze agreed to purchase an
institutional advertisement to be hung on the wall of the gymnasium of a
Texas junior college. The ad was removed, and a compliance and rules
discussion with Heintze took place.
Also, former strength and conditioning coach Gary Calcagno broke an NCAA
rule by showing recruits a videotape of various types of weight training.
