Bob StoopsOklahoma football coach Bob Stoops was mentioned as one of the Sooners coaches guilty of committing several minor NCAA violations in connection with apparent inadvertent phone calls and text messages, according to a report obtained by the Associated Press on Friday.

Documents from Oklahoma's self-report show that Stoops and assistant football coach Jackie Shipp, along with assistant women's basketball coach Stacy Hansmeyer, made impermissible phone calls to a recruit. Head women's basketball coach Sherri Coale also mistakenly sent a text message to a perspective student-athlete.

The violations are not considered serious and should not bring harsh penalties.

Missouri Dismisses Backup QB Blaine Dalton

Missouri freshman quarterback Blaine Dalton may become a case study in why early enrollment could be a bad idea.

Dalton, 18, was kicked off the football team Friday following his second arrest in four months in Columbia, Mo. Dalton, who skipped his final semester at Blue Springs (Mo.) High School to enroll early at Missouri to go through spring ball, was arrested early Friday morning on suspicion of driving while intoxicated, according several reports.

In late April, Dalton was arrested after Columbia police stopped his car and found prescription painkillers, Hydrocone pills and an unopened can of beer in the vehicle. Missouri coach Gary Pinkel suspended Dalton for a while after the initial incident but allowed him to return to the team and participate in two-a-days this summer.

Before being dismissed, Dalton had jumped from fourth-string and a possible redshirt year to competing with Jimmy Costello for the backup job to Blaine Gabbert.
