Stoops: Bomar "knowingly" broke NCAA rules

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) -- Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said Thursday that the school acted quickly when it found out that starting quarterback Rhett Bomar and offensive lineman J.D. Quinn broke NCAA rules through their employment at a car dealership.

Stoops said he had not been aware that Bomar and Quinn were working at the dealership last fall until Oklahoma's compliance staff investigated the situation. Stoops said he didn't rush to a decision but considered it "fairly cut and dry."
Stoops said the players, who were dismissed from the team on Wednesday, "knowingly" broke the rules. The university has said the players were being paid for more work than they actually did.

So is this it for Rhett Bomar? Besides working at the dealership what are his optionss?...The AFL?...the CFL?...that's the problem with football...it does not have a minor leagues...only a college league...and not all players are college material.

Maybe AFL or CFL, but my gut tells me he's probably going to go the way of Maurice Clarett - out of football.

I can see him possibly playing in the AFL. He may end up making less money than he did pretending to work at the auto dealership, only time will tell.

now that was uncalled for ...Clarett went so far out that he landed in the slammer...I don't think this kid is headed that far out...I would love to see a minor league system...maybe a 6-8 team league supported by the NFL (and not in Europe) and played in places like Iowa, West Texas, Nebraska, Wisconsin (heck if Green Bay can support the Packers), a place like Milwaukee or Madison can host a smaller team for good weather purposes...

I just hate the whole Europe thing...have a minor league out of college leftovers and let them enter the draft each year...

Then raise admission standards for players...and the minors will be flooded with talent.

Re: Stoops: Bomar "knowingly" broke NCAA rules

So is Stoops fed up with NCAA football enough to head for the NFL?

Anybody hear Colin Cowherd's comments?

I have a hard time believing that Stoops would go NFL. Does he even have any pro coaching history?
