"I do not believe the certification staff recommended certification," Woody Glass wrote in an e-mail. "I have not been provided anything in writing setting forth their position. I am trying to get that information."

If Balogun is not certified by the NCAA, his chances of playing for OU again are slim, though Glass could pursue a permanent injunction against the NCAA and seek damages.

Balogun did not travel with the team to Arlington, Texas, this weekend for OU's game against Brigham Young.
