Norman, Okla. — Oklahoma’s football team has been required to give players a week off from athletic training during the offseason after reporting a series of secondary NCAA rules violations.

The Sooners reported to the NCAA that four assistant coaches had improperly questioned players about their lack of participation in voluntary offseason workouts, and that some players had been working out more than the allowed eight hours per week.

In other Oklahoma news, Sooners defensive tackle Stacy McGee was arrested on a marijuana possession citation and released over the weekend.
