Oklahoma dismisses QB Bomar/NCAA probation

[akronbuck]

Big Red is the same placed that let Peterson return a Lexus several weeks later with no consequence. Big Red might want to hire some extra security for the next couple weeks.

Or just move.




Dwayne Jarrett, anyone?

and what did he get, nothing

all i can say is WOW....

It's on the front page of espn.com, albeit over to the side. Apparently, ESPN thinks that deciding which Boston player -- Bird or Papi -- is more clutch is more important than the Bomar news.

the big 12 will be fine...just not ou, HAHAHAHA

That I can definitely agree with.

I too am smiling like an idiot. Burn, baby, burn!

Jarrett got plenty -- like $1,800 free rent for a year.

it hasn't even come across the ticker at the bottom of the page on the TV...

Because ESPn is trying to figure out a way to apologize for them.

If it were OSU instead of OU, ESPN would have interrupted its broadcast with the news...

Well, they didn't "find" this, after all...the reason ESPN was so apeshit about beating the OSU situation into the ground is that they wanted to take credit for it.

Nah, I'd rather just see someone at USC publicly acknowledge all the problems the program has been having and publicly or privately tell Carroll to shape up or get out. And I'd like the NCAA to punish USC for the improper benefits that Jarrett and Bush received. Then I'd be happy.

But now, controversy. Perhaps success breeds this kind of attention. Past national champions like Clemson, Miami, Washington, Florida State and Ohio State have been targets of allegations that resulted in investigations.


Carroll isn't shying away, although he realizes the school's image has been tarnished for now. He was emphatic concerning the effort made to inform players and their families about what can go wrong.


“We've been all over this,” he said. “We're trying to inform and educate better than anybody in the country. We have to send the message so clear. It's about creating a conscience with the players first.


“It starts all the way back to junior day, the first day we bring future recruits on campus. We start talking about what this all means, what this is all about, and it just goes on throughout.”


Even so, Carroll said, he's ultimately responsible as the head coach.


“I'm not going to make excuses for any part of this,” he said. “I'm not going to point the finger at somebody else. I'm the one who has to continue to get this done. I've got to do a better job.”
