Oklahoma dismisses QB Bomar/NCAA probation

How many athlete's get away with taking extra money? I have to think that it is a huge number of them. I can't imagine that it isn't. Otherwise, wouldn't you think these players would look around and say, "Shit, look what happened to player A", or "Shit, I don't want to end up like player B. I better not take what I haven't earned!"

The amount of money doesn't seem to matter that much to the NCAA. Lying to them is a huge deal. Remember, it was the large number of times that MoC lied that got him suspended for the entire 2003 season. If he had come clean about his ride, he probably only would have been suspended for a couple of games.

The other example involving a fairly large amount of money is USC's Jarrett getting the huge rent discount from Matt Leinart's father. That amount came to about $10,000 ($1,283 monthly times 8 or 9 months); but it's possible that Jarrett gets reinstated without a suspension. Admittedly, discounted rent is much less unseemly than cash or paychecks for no-show jobs.

Here are what I believe to be the relevant sections of the NCAA bylaws on dollar amount guidelines in the area of improper benefits:

Note - 'withholding' indicates the percentage of a season to be missed

ncaa.pdf

Bylaw 16.12.2.1 (Impermissable Benefits)

a. Assessment of culpability for Violations where a Tangible Benefit is Received. The guidelines advise when an extra benefit exceeding $100 is received may be applied based on the dollar amount of the benefit. (June 1999)

The adopted guidelines for violations involving student-athletes:

(1) Value of the benefit ranges from $100 to $299 = 10 percent withholding condition and repayment.

(2) Value of the benefit ranges from $300 to $500 = 20 percent withholding condition and repayment.

(3) Value of the benefit above $501 = 30 percent withholding condition and repayment.

b. Other Violations Involving Tangible Benfits outside Bylaw 16. The committee confirmed that the responsibility/culpability of a student/athlete should be assessed regardless of the bylaw in question (e.g., Bylaws 12.1.1.1.6, 13 and 15). The same dollar figure guidelines should be the starting point in all cases. (February 2004)

Violations involving prospective student-athletes are to be reviewed by the staff with the following guidelines:

(1) Value of the benefit ranges from $300 to $500 = 10 percent withholding and repayment.

(2) Value of the benefit ranges from $501 to $700 = 20 percent withholding and repayment.

(3) Value of the benefit above $701 = 30 percent withholding and repayment.

The committee noted that the staff should continue to review the factors that may increase or decrease the prospective or enrolled student-athlete's culpability in these violations. (December 2000)

hahahaha. Good find, Dryden.

Y'all should have read Soonerfans before the implosion. Their collective opinion on that piece of junk they call an offensive line was hilarious. "they'll be fine, maybe even the best in the conference!!!"

Not to mention the ubiquitous "our receivers are better then texas'" and "AP will run for 2300 yards". yeah right.

Every fanbase might overrate their own players a little bit, but those guys took it to new levels.

Well, I will say this about Oklahoma.... Adrian Peterson, when he's healthy, is an absolute monster. He's a bona fide stud, and if they can develop any sentiment of a passing attack or run blocking, he will rush for 2000 yards.

Think this guy is still glad he transferred?

Oklahoma isn't completely flattened by this though, because the defense is still going to be really, really stout. The players are too well coached and now experienced enough that they're not going to get beat by a gimmick like Texas Tech or Baylor, and they're still simply better all-around than Oklahoma State and A&M, even with the offensive losses.

It's still a one-game season in the RRS, this time it'll be between two great defenses, and anything can happen.
