Surely not - 89-18 winning percentage = 0.831
97-22 winning percentage = 0.815

Number of wins up - winning percentage down.

I believe the precentage went up, since only the wins were reinstated. The NCAA didn't vacate the 4 losses that year. :wink2:

Oklahoma limits businesses to employing five Sooners at a time

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) -- Oklahoma has banned any business from employing more than five Sooners athletes at the same time as part of its response to NCAA violations that occurred when three football players took pay for work they had not done at a car dealership.

In a series of compliance changes intended to bring more thorough monitoring of athletes' employment, even those that do not have a job are required to fill out a form stating their status.

The changes were outlined to the NCAA in the university's annual compliance report required following major violations by the football and men's basketball programs. The Associated Press obtained the report Tuesday through an open records request.

Oklahoma subjected itself to an external audit by The Compliance Group in February 2007 and subsequently updated its student-athlete employment policy.

Athletes who wish to seek a job must now fill out employment registration forms and have them signed by their coaches before turning them in to the compliance department. Compliance officials then check with the coach to verify the signature and then work with the employer to ensure that NCAA rules are followed.

The Sooners were stripped of two scholarships after the NCAA ruled that quarterback Rhett Bomar, offensive lineman J.D. Quinn and walk-on Jermaine Hardison had taken pay for work they did not perform at the Big
Red Sports and Imports car dealership in Norman. Bomar and Quinn were kicked off the team in August 2006, and by then Hardison had already been dismissed for an unrelated violation of team rules.

OK, OU is in trouble because this car dealership employed three players who did no work. Now a rule is in place so they can employ no more than five players at a time.

This solves the problem how?

Oklahoma reports handful of minor NCAA violations

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) -- Oklahoma has reported a handful of minor NCAA rules violations, mostly dealing with what the university describes as inadvertent phone calls or text messages by various coaches.

The Associated Press obtained documents on Friday detailing the secondary violations through an open records request.

The documents indicate head football coach Bob Stoops and assistant football coach Jackie Shipp and assistant women's basketball coach Stacy Hansmeyer made impermissible calls to one prospect each, while head women's basketball coach Sherri Coale inadvertently sent a prospect a text message.

Another football prospect received correspondence from Oklahoma that was mailed before Sept. 1 of the prospect's junior year of high school.

Anybody else out there tired of seeing this type of headline? Not picking on Oklahoma, because it happens all over, but the NCAA needs to either grow a pair, or have less rules. Even though many rules are considered "minor", what if by violating these rules, the school in question has gained an advantage? There just seems to be an overall attitude that "well, it's only a minor rule, as long as we don't get hit on failure to monitor, we'll be okay." Just my opinion, but unless the NCAA gets tougher on this sort of thing, certain schools (and coaches) will continue to walk as close to the edge as possible. If there is no penalty of significance, might as well not have all of these rules.

Offseason workouts exceeding the allowed limits?

This sounds vaguely familiar, did another school recently have an issue with this? :wink2:

Sooners' offseason workouts lead to violations

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.

The violations were included in documents released to the Associated Press on Tuesday following an open records request.

According to a letter sent to NCAA director of secondary enforcement Chris Strobel, the university started an investigation after a player refused to sign a weekly practice log and then provided Oklahoma's compliance director with a recording of defensive backs coach Willie Martinez asking why he had missed a voluntary workout.

The investigation found that receivers coach Jay Norvell and offensive line coach James Patton also discussed attendance at the workouts with players, and defensive tackles coach Jackie Shipp received reports from the strength staff on who was participating.

Oklahoma also informed the NCAA that secondary violations occurred when football players went through Pilates sessions in addition to their offseason workouts, when strength coaches observed players' independent agility training and when seven players were required to repeat a conditioning drill. All three resulted the players going over the NCAA's eight-hour weekly limit on guided offseason workouts.

Other violations included a handful of self-reported impermissible text messages and phone calls by assistant coaches to recruits and their fathers, and the team's website posting links to recruiting websites on signing day last year.

The men's basketball team, which was on NCAA probation until May and is again being investigated, also reported secondary violations resulting from two assistant coaches placing two impermissible recruiting calls apiece and three violations related to official visits by prospects.

Well, to be fair, it was quite obvious that the other school you have mentioned did not get a competitive advantage out of the extra practice time.
