The NCAA apparently has rules about everything when it comes to college athletics.

Even pasta eating.

A list of benign secondary violations that Oklahoma's athletic department reported to the NCAA included one bizarre anecdote: According to The Oklahoman, three unnamed Sooners athletes ate more food during a graduation banquet than NCAA rules allow. The violations occurred on May 10, 2013, according to the newspaper.

The specific item overindulged on was pasta.

To have their eligibility reinstated, the three had to donate $3.83 each (the cost of the pasta servings) to charities of their choice.

Although the players were not identified, offensive linemen Gabe Ikard and Austin Woods took to Twitter to fess up for piling on the pasta and claim they paid $5 for the food.

Our problems are solved. We just need to tell our players to pay back the amount of hot dogs they ate and we'll be good to go. :thumb:

At least the offending parties were linemen. Heaven forbid a couple of safeties pound more pasta than the NCAA allows. It wouldn't surprise me if the anal retentive NCAA has some sort of formula that allows a certain amount of food to be consumed based on body weight. Actually, as I think about it, the NCAA rule probably just states "no second helpings."

Nice of Oklahoma to announce these AFTER signing day. Classy...

Not quite. It has to get pass the Engstrom Principle: "Does it equivocate to a reduction of at least four scholarships in order to be blackmailed unto appeasement?" And does it require the Heimlich Maneuver in order to pay back the pasta?
