Oklahoma running backs coach DeMarco Murray has been suspended for one game by the NCAA due to Level-II recruiting violations. The violations involved impermissible contact with 17 prospects over a 16-month period, including 65 phone calls and 36 text messages. These actions were discovered through a routine review of phone records. The NCAA also noted that Oklahoma's head coach Brent Venables violated head coach responsibility rules, but no suspension was imposed on him. Murray's suspension will be served during Oklahoma's season opener, although the specific game has not been disclosed.
