OKLAHOMA CITY -- The NCAA is citing Oklahoma State for a potential major rules violation in its baseball program.
The NCAA asked university president Burns Hargis to send school officials to an Aug. 7-8 infractions committee meeting in Indianapolis.
The Oklahoman and Tulsa World first reported the potential violations, citing documents obtained under state open records laws.
Oklahoma State spokesman Gary Shutt says a violation was committed when a former baseball player received a 10-year-old car from an out-of-state family he stayed with while playing in a summer league.
Shutt says the university contends it was not a major violation, because the family had no prior connection with Oklahoma State athletics. He says the player did not appear in any games for the Cowboys after receiving the car.
