Abstract: Let $alpha:mathbb{F}_{q}omathbb{F}_q$ be a permutation and $Psi(alpha)$ be the number of collinear triples in the graph of $alpha$, where $mathbb{F}_q$ denotes a finite field of $q$ elements. When $q$ is odd Cooper and Solymosi once proved $Psi(alpha)geq(q-1)/4$ and conjectured the sharp bound should be $Psi(alpha)geq(q-1)/2$. In this note we indicate that the Cooper-Solymosi conjecture is true.
