NCAA almost suspended Sooners football assistant

Twitter messages sent to high college players in February violated NCAA rules and nearly resulted in a 1-game suspension for Oklahoma co-offensive coordinator Jay Norvell, in accordance with documents obtained by The Associated Press.

Amongst the documents released to the AP this week below Oklahoma's Open Records Act were letters between college compliance staff & members of the NCAA's rules enforcement staff relating to the fallout from Norvell's use of Twitter.

The NCAA at first wanted to suspend Norvell for one game though the school successfully appealed. Oklahoma learned of the NCAA's choice not to suspend Norvell on Dec. 4.
