Sooners Boycott AFCA Banquet Over Switzer Decision
SAN FRANCISCO AP The University of Oklahoma boycotted the AFCA annual banquet Thursday to protest a decision not to honor coaches whose teams are on probation. Switzer, who won Coach of the Year honors, left the convention early, while chief assistant Larry Lacewell was ordered to return home. The new AFCA policy, effective next year, would not be retroactive to 1973. Oklahoma faced probation by the Big Eight for recruiting violations, barring postseason play. AFCA president Ava Parseghian said the moves were not aimed specifically at Oklahoma.
