Your university's football season is almost here! To get you in the mood, UD will be running some noteworthy gridiron stories.

Chuck Langston's short tenure as football coach [2] at the University of Central Oklahoma has been marked by cheating of every conceivable sort [3]. The NCAA finally got wind of it, and punishment has now been handed down: Two weeks with no working. At full salary.

There is one thing he'll be required to do. "He will be required to study NCAA rules and regulations," says a campus spokesman.

Local Oklahoma news outlets [4] assure their readers that despite this glitch the team's pumped. Ready to roll.

And after all it's amazing how quickly a serious punishment can clear things up. "I am extremely proud of all of our coaches and athletic programs," says the university's president. "And I have every confidence that the football program is now on the right track." Coach Langston will be back to running things before you know it; and, having refreshed his knowledge of the rules and regulations, he'll direct a nice clean program from here on in.
