(9/14) Peterson one game away from suspension? OU tickets, Articles and more.

Oklahoma Sooners Football News and Articles

Peterson one class away from one game suspension? A new athletic department policy went into affect this semester that penalizes athletes for unexcused absences in class, OU athletic director Joe Castiglione said. If an athlete misses three classes in any one course, he or she receives only a warning, according to the new policy. But if the athlete misses another class in any other course, that person is held out of two practices. If the athlete misses a fifth class in any course, he or she will be held out of athletic competition. OU officials, citing privacy concerns, would not comment on Peterson's specific situation. But the sophomore was held out of practice Monday and Tuesday. Coach Bob Stoops would only say that Peterson has "class attendance issues," but an OU source confirmed that Peterson has missed at least four classes to trigger the first penalty. Stoops said Monday, as of now, Peterson should play Saturday. It's an indication that Peterson could be held out of a game if he misses another class. OU has people on staff who go around campus making sure athletes are in attendance. "Overall, they're here first to get an education, regardless of what anybody says," Stoops said. "I think we do our best around the country, not just here, to get that done. But the guys also have to do their part." (Dallas Morning News)

Baylor & KSU tickets returned: Due to returns from visiting schools, OU has a limited number of tickets available for home games against Kansas State (Oct. 1) and Baylor (Oct. 22). The tickets are $62 for both games and are available at www.SoonerSports.com, or at (405) 325-2424 or (800) 456-4668. They can also be purchased at the ticket office. (NewsOK.com)

Stoops not looking back: One has to wonder who would be starting at quarterback if Tommy Grady hadn't elected to transfer to Utah in August. Grady was expected to compete with Bomar and Paul Thompson for the starting job, but was left on the outside looking in when he had to take an intercession class and missed preseason practices. "I'm not much on looking back on what might have been," Stoops said. "I will say all along we had confidence in Tommy. As I said last week, we never had a pecking order coming into the season. Even though the media did, that wasn't us, because we saw the potential in him. "That situation's done and these guys are good guys. We've got to continue to work with them in better ways, and they have to continue to stay positive and work, too.” (Norman Transcript)
