Baker Mayfield will be limited to the scout team at Oklahoma this season and will not suit up for the Sooners in 2014.
The school released a statement on Tuesday that the Texas Tech transfer had his appeal denied by the NCAA after he sought immediate eligiblity this year. In a bit of surprising good news, however, Mayfield was granted a scholarship after the organization allowed Oklahoma to go over the limit of 85 scholarship this school year.
"The University of Oklahoma Athletics Department confirmed on Monday that Baker Mayfield’s appeal to the NCAA for immediate eligibility to compete during the 2014 season has been denied," the statement said. "The NCAA has granted permission to the university to exceed the financial aid limit by one so that Mayfield may be placed on a full athletics grant-in-aid."
The latter move likely means the school will be limited to just 84 football scholarships next year.
