If you recall we had the booster scandal that put us on probation in 1994, no bowl game et al, even though it was proven the University had no prior knowledge. The NCAA said we should have known and still thumped the program.
If OU gets away without as much as missing a bowl game and losing scholarships, we'll know they have deep roots in the NCAA Org....

What was the A&M violation? If I recall there were about 6 or 7 players who worked for an A&M booster duing the summer but did not actually work some of the time. I recall that the total conpensation that was paid to the players for work that they did not do totaled about 7,000 and the most one player benifited was about 2,500.
This OU deal is nothing in comparision but I bet they still get the less of a penalty then A&M got...

saw this after a poster on our board (niu.ncaabbs.com) posted the link and the accompanying sports illustrated article. but to try to get this thread back on topic, what do you think stoops knew about this whole thing. it seems unlikley that he was clueless.

I think he may have been hinted at what was going on, but stoops is still an honest man and a good coach. This should not be blamed on him at all.
I just hope that the NCAA investigations don't spread to other schools. I wouldn't like it if A&M is doing something similar (though I highly doubt it with a losing season last year)
Sorry double post

i'm not saying he should be blamed, i'm just saying is it possible he was looking the other way? i don't follow too much of the big 12 besides the texas schools so i don't know much about OU and it's staff.

Why did staff remove my pic?!!!!!
That sucks. There wasn't anything outside of the rules about it!

I've always liked SI a lot. And not just because of the swimsuit issue.
I can't believe I'm actually reading that. HA!

From the SI article:
quote:
At 1:30 in the morning on Jan. 30, a fan using the Internet screen name of "aggiegrant06" posted a cryptic message on the popular fan site TexAgs.com entitled "Is it legal???????" In it, he vaguely described how his girlfriend handled payroll checks at a "large dealership where we live" and "didn't recognize several of the names." He went on to say, "The checks were made out to football players of the local university, and even though they had never actually been to work there, they were receiving HUGE!!!! pay checks."
Unfortunately, aggiegrant's post was met with what can best be described as belligerent skepticism. "Dude, go away," wrote one person. "You and your thread are completely stupid," wrote another. Perturbed by the reaction, he went on to specify that "The School is OU, and the specific player is Bomar." After a few more cynical comments, the post was removed by administrators less than two hours after it originated. "We're pretty conservative when it comes to rumors that show up on the site," said Brandon Jones, owner of Texas Ags.com, who employs 20 volunteer "moderators" to monitor the site's 10,000 daily message-board posts. "Anytime you see an accusation like that show up on a bulletin board it almost seems too good to be true, so the natural reaction is this guy is making this up."
