Oklahoma's Dorial Green-Beckham denied eligibility for 2014 season

Oklahoma wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham's appeal to play this season has been denied. 

"The University accepts that decision and will continue to provide the appropriate assistance to Dorial, just as it does with other students, in helping him grow personally from the many opportunities available to him at OU," the school said in a statement via ESPN.

Green-Beckham joined Oklahoma in July following his dismissal from Missouri after his involvement in a number of off-field incidents. The Sooners were reportedly very confident earlier in the month that Green-Beckham would be granted eligibility to play this season due to an NCAA "run-off" rule where the school claimed he was removed from Missouri for reasons beyond his control. 

The news comes as a blow to head coach Bob Stoops as the junior made 59 catches for 883 yards and 12 touchdowns a season ago.
