NORMAN (KFAQ) TMZ is reporting University of Oklahoma basketball star Keith "Tiny" Gallon may have violated NCAA rules by allegedly accepting thousands of dollars from a man who appears to have been courting him.

TMZ claims it has obtained a document indicating Gallon, a freshman center for the Sooners, scored a $3,000 wire transfer last August. The money was reportedly deposited in a bank account jointly held by Keith and his mother, Sylvia Wright.

According to TMZ the document indicates the money was deposited by Jeffrey Hausinger, a Merrill Lynch financial advisor who reps several professional athletes.

TMZ reports OU Athletic Director Joe Castiglione says the school is committed to following NCAA rules, and "any activity not in compliance is taken seriously and is acted upon swiftly."
