Oklahoma compliance department springs to action over copy of Grand Theft Auto V

Oklahoma senior defensive back Kass Everett faced a nasty dilemma early Tuesday morning. Grand Theft Auto V, widely hyped to be the videogame of the century, released at midnight across the country. Everett, however, was without the necessary funds to buy it.

Dang. I don't have enough for GTA V. Guess I'll wait.

Former Sooner Tony Jefferson saw Everett's hopeless plea, and offered to lend a hand... before realizing that may land Oklahoma in some trouble.

Then OU Compliance chimed in, confirming that it would be a violation if Jefferson did purchase the game for Everett.

Yes @tonyjefferson1, former SAs are considered boosters and may not provide benefits to current SAs #GTAVWillHaveToWait — OU Compliance (@OUCompliance) September 17, 2013

@tonyjefferson1 but we're buddies. — 2Kass Everett3 (@Kass_Everett) September 17, 2013

Everett still got his hands on a copy of the game, though, with some help from a friend.

Game had been installing for 20 minutes already...

Should have opted for the 360 version, Kass.
