How big a drop off is it between this qb and the next guy? Will they still be expected to be a really good team? As for what bigtexx brought up, Not really talking about this specific case that bigtexx brought up since I've never heard of it before, just saying in general I'd think you have unpaid assistants for a reason and the rules should be followed.
looks like UT is gonna go two in a row against the sooners...i went to UT and i was kinda worried how well the sooners were starting to mesh behind bomar after the Texas loss....looks like i can breathe a lil easier now
Let's not go blOUing Bob Stoops just yet. This all might be a premptive measure to thwart any NCAA sanctions. OU is notorious for this kind of stuff and my guess would be that this might be the tip of the iceberg.
TraderTexx is implying UT would not have won the national title without the volunteer coach. I'm saying the volunteer coach had little impact on the team's performance. In the end, players decided the game. Street, Quintanilla, Ontiveros, Majewski, Howell, Moss, who else am I leaving off? won the national title.
percicles.. that is a good point... self reporting is probably better for the school than it being found out by ncaa later...
You can count on 4 of Texx's last ten post being UT-Austin related, if not directly than indirectly as evidenced by this OU Sooner thread. Paraphrasing Dennis Hopper doing Roy Orbison in Blue Velvet... In dreams I walk with you In dreams I talk with you In dreams you're mine Sums it all up huh Texx?
The NCAA slapped a major violation on UThug for this. Volunteer coaches make a big difference in college baseball. They help with recruiting, and more importantly, they help coach the players. Coaching has a huge effect on the college game. Look at Rice, who never has top 25 recruiting classes. They've won the national championship and were the only Texas team to make the College World Series this past year. The reason they do so well is due to coaching. Rice has the best in Texas in my opinion. Coaching absolutely affects on field play. No that was Omar Quintanilla, the guy who got UThug in trouble for playing professionally in El Paso before his college eligibility was up. PWNT
ESPN now reporting the story: http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=2537332 Sources: Oklahoma Dismisses Starting QB Bomar Oklahoma starting quarterback Rhett Bomar will not play for the Sooners this season following an investigation by the team, ESPN's Doug Gottlieb and Joe Schad reported Wednesday. Sophomore J.D. Quinn, who was expected to start at guard, was also dismissed. Oklahoma said 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." Shad also is reporting that Bomar had a job at an Oklahoma City car dealer at which he'd work about five hours a week, but claimed, for tax purposes, that he earned $18,000 a year. Oklahoma City television station KWTV first 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.
