Oklahoma State has become the first school to be punished by the NCAA in the fallout from the federal corruption investigation into college basketball. The school plans to fight — and likely won’t be the only one.
That list now includes Oklahoma State, which vowed to appeal after being “stunned by the severity of the penalties.” The comments follow forceful responses from Kansas in September and March to charges against the storied Jayhawks’ men’s basketball program. And N.C. State ultimately argued it couldn’t get a fair hearing from an infractions committee as its case ended up being accepted into the the NCAA’s new independent resolution process for complex cases.
An appeal would put the penalties challenged by Oklahoma State on hold. While it’s unclear exactly how long that would take, the process would generally require 6-8 months based on typical NCAA filing and hearing deadlines. The NCAA penalties against Oklahoma State included three years of probation, a $10,000 fine self-imposed by the school along with an additional 1% from the program budget, recruiting restrictions and a reduction in basketball scholarships.
