I believe Stoops and some others at Oklahoma had seen the video shortly after the incident, but yes, it didn't come out publicly until a couple years later. By that time, Oklahoma had already "punished" him by making him sit out a year (just redshirted him basically), and they chose to do nothing additional since it had already been "handled." Now, if Mixon had turned out to be a bust at Oklahoma, you have to think they might have just cut him loose when that video did finally come out. But as it turned out, he was really good, so the Bengals were happy to overlook it all and draft him.
