www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/4104246.html By RONNIE TURNER Copyright 2006 Houston Chronicle Former Oklahoma quarterback Rhett Bomar, who was kicked off the team last week after it was revealed he violated NCAA rules, visited the University of Houston campus Tuesday, keeping open the chance he might transfer to the school next semester. Bomar toured the facilities and met with UH head coach Art Briles. Should Bomar, a redshirt sophomore, commit to a Division I-A school, it is believed Houston would be a strong possibility. Bomar is also considering Division I-AA school Sam Houston State. If Bomar transfers to a Division I-A school, he must sit out a minimum of one season because of NCAA transfer rules. That does not include the possible suspension he faces from the NCAA. Bomar was dismissed from the OU team after an investigation determined he and offensive guard J.D. Quinn had accepted compensation above the work performed for a booster. Bomar, of Grand Prairie, played in all 12 games (11 starts) for Oklahoma as a redshirt freshman in 2005, passing for 2,018 yards and 10 TDs.
OK now I'm hearing reports that they signed on to UH today officially this afternoon. This is huge for Cougar football. Bring on the haters.
This is good, however, I'm assuming he'll sit out this year and be able to ball next fall... Read my sig...
Where did you hear this? I know he met with UNT yesterday. I think it would be dumb if Bomar signed with another D-1A school, he will have to sit out at least a year and some are suspecting there could be a full season suspension as well. He should just sign with a 1AA school, dominate, and then put his name in the draft.
Sports radio 610.. ESPN 790.. Theyre saying both of them have their scholarship papers in the pipeline, but until its finalized the Uni cant confirm it. No telling how the NCAA will punish them, full season suspension is highly unlikely.
I have mixed feeling about Bomar attending/playing for UH (assuming it is true) after the all what has happened with him. But hey everyone deserves a 2nd chance.
