STILLWATER — A lie might have cost Oklahoma State receiver Dez Bryant his eligibility with the Cowboys for the remainder of the football season.

Bryant lied to the NCAA about a visit to the home of former NFL standout Deion Sanders earlier this year and was ruled ineligible on Wednesday for violating NCAA Bylaw 10.1 (d), which pertains to unethical conduct.
