Reggie Bush is no longer at SC, so there was no decision to be made by Carroll. That was for the NCAA and SC administrators to sort out in a drawn-out investigation.
I'm not commending SC at all, I just think it's a different example.
I believe Stoops/Tressel took the only road when kicking Bomar/Clarett off of the team.
Obviously I'm merely speculating. There may be other similar examples of improper gifts (and perhaps the final suspensions were not as severe)... hopefully those will be brought up for comparison.

I imagine OU is on a short leash...if they get to the dreaded "Lack of Institutional Control" status, then penalties will abound for then entire Athletic Department, which could set all their teams back for a decade or more.

It's the same dealership where Peterson got a Lexus, so it goes without saying that Stoops had to have dropped the edict on conduct and that dealership after the mess with Peterson blew over.

Would not suprise me. When a big time company is caught paying backup linemen you have to wonder where it ends. |

That sucks for them, I hate seeing this happen to teams but i really do not like Jokelahoma so its a little better than usuall, hopefully Rhett lands on his feet in D-1AA and still has a good career.

Apparently the new owner is the big donor

That doesn't fit the info available. They say this has been going on for an extended period, and Bomar allegedly reported $18,000 income on his taxes. The new owners didn't take over until after April.
