Oklahoma dismisses QB Bomar/NCAA probation
Hasn't hit the wire yet but check out this breaking story from a local news station in OK
They mention that there's possibly one other player involved - guys getting paid for their "job" but not showing up to work.
No O-Line, No QB - wonder if they'll remain the favorite for the Big 12 South.

Oklahoma dismisses starting QB Bomar

Report: Oklahoma dismisses starting QB Bomar
Associated Press
OKLAHOMA CITY -- Oklahoma starting quarterback Rhett Bomar will not play for the Sooners this season following an investigation by the team, according to a television report.
Oklahoma confirmed that two players had been dismissed by the team but did not identify them. The school said in a statement that the players violated NCAA rules by working at a private business and taking "payment over an extended period of time in excess of time actually worked."
Oklahoma City television station KWTV reported that Bomar, who set an Oklahoma freshman record with 2,018 passing yards after taking over as the Sooners' starter in the second game last season, was one of the two players who had been permanently dismissed.
"We spend a considerable amount of time addressing our players regarding their personal conduct and the NCAA rules," head coach Bob Stoops said in a statement. "They know exactly what we expect from them. Ultimately, they have to make right decisions. The same holds true for our boosters. When they do not, the consequences are serious, and we will not tolerate this behavior.
"Our team and university actions are necessary because of the intentional participation and knowledge of the student athletes in these violations," Stoops said.
A top-rated recruit out of high school, Bomar redshirted his first season while 2004 Heisman Trophy winner Jason White completed his career. Bomar lost a quarterback competition to Paul Thompson last fall, but was named the starter after the Sooners lost to TCU in the first week.
He started Oklahoma's final 11 games and completed 54 percent of his passes, while throwing 10 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Oklahoma finished 2005 by winning six of its final seven games, including a victory against Oregon in the Holiday Bowl.
"I firmly believe that our program is stronger than any individual player and that a championship program cannot compromise its values," Stoops said in the statement.

Yeah, ummmm....... I already kind of did. Can I send in a new one?
Between this and the 4 Canes who got kicked off, I need to make a couple changes.
OU has no one with experience (sounds familiar), and their backup is supposedly extremely raw and not all that talented. The difference between us and them is their O-line sucks and their receivers are young and unproven.
They won 11 games in 2001 with one of the most pathetic offenses I've ever seen, so we shouldn't completely write them off yet. |
