KANSAS CITY, MO - MARCH 10: Head coach Jeff Capel of the Oklahoma Sooners reacts on the sidelines during their quarterfinal game against the Oklahoma Sooners in the 2011 Phillips 66 Big 12 Men's Basketball Tournament at Sprint Center on March 10, 2011 in Kansas City, Missouri.

Finally, closure.
It would appear all the drama that Oronde Taliaferro, Tiny Gallon, and Jeff Capel caused has finally come to an end with the NCAA's decision today to place the OU men's basketball program on three years probation. Additionally, the university will have to pay a $15,000 fine, lose one scholarship, some limits on recruiting, and all 13 wins from the 2009-10 season have been vacated.
Most of the penalties were suggested by OU, so much of this does not come as a surprise. Finally, this program can move on from this and get back to doing things the right way and winning basketball games. I have no doubt Coach Kruger is the right man to do just that.
