More OU players could be implicated

[Puerco Diablo]

My buddy that works in the UT athletic dept. spoke with his counterpart at OU.  It seems like Bomar and Quinn are only the first players to be dismissed.  4 other players, including Adrian Peterson could also be involved.  They were taking money for working at  "Big Red Auto Leasing" without showing up for work.

Judging from my friends comments, the other 4 players are likely to be dismissed or at least suspended for the year.  OU is doing the old "mia culpa" and trying to enact punishment before the NCAA gets rolling.  We all know how that goes.

I'm almost positive that Big Red Auto is the car dealership that gave Peterson a car for the infamous two week rental. That donor is going to single handedly bring down the OU program. 

[Amityvillehogger]

if they dismiss peterson, they'll make a believer out of me.

[Pork Twain]

This sounds very familiar...  Did we turn ourselves in to the NCAA?  Let's just sit back and see how long this investigation takes...

A few months

[Adam Stokes]

  If they dismiss Peterson or Bomar are other teams able to pick them up or would they simply have to transfer?

[Big Papa Satan]

Big Red Auto was indeed the one that gave Peterson the car, and took a lot of grief from Pokes for it.

It's "Big Red Sports and Imports"....  I haven't heard any such things (as far as more players)  I've got one roomate who works in the athletic dept. and my old roomate (starting lineman), who sent me texts during their break today... didn't say anything like this....  They started 2 a days this morning...

If you guys could see some of their car commercials you would not be suprised....  These guys are complete idiots....  Big Red Sports and Imports, that is....

[bigred7987]

This is awesome

[williamsB]

didn't the OU basketball coach get in NCAA trouble? Sampson?

[bigred7987]

They are already on probation

[Marshfieldhog]

Looks like Big Red Sports and Imports sold the OU fans a lemon.   

[Landonhog]

didn't the OU basketball coach get in NCAA trouble? Sampson?

Yes, then left....  The baseball team has also been in trouble recently...

[thehill1414]

He had too many calls (hundreds) to recruits.

[nwarazfan]

This is awesome

Almost brightens the week a little.  Too bad its not happening in one of those evil orange regions.

[williamsB]

Matt Romine, wonder if this will affect this top OU recruit

[Puerco Diablo]

  If they dismiss Peterson or Bomar are other teams able to pick them up or would they simply have to transfer?

Rumor is that they would not be eligible to play NCAA football.  Can you say NAIA!?!?

If ineligible, AP should just get himself an agent, a big pay advance and hire himself a trainer to get himself ready for the NFL Combine. 

[Pork Twain]

Sweet!!!

[HoopS]

Maybe they could all go to Alabama State.

Well we all know the *only* orange region it could happen in is Texas.  Nothing bad ever happens in Tennessee. *sarcasm*

This is too funny...  That guy that posted saying he dated the owners daughter and worked at big red.....  I gave him my old washer and dryer from college, a couple months ago...  One of those friend of a friend types... I know nobody cares, but that was funny... 

[RazorHawg16]

New news up to date....Peterson has been cleared. UGH!

[bigred7987]

Its not bad luck, its thinking you are above the system because you play college football

[RazorHawg16]

Good.  He is a class kid.  I am not sitting here wishing bad luck to befall anyone...that is just pointless.

Its not like we play them every year so I really dont see the point anyways.

Of my initial comment...or yours?

Ahh...Im just saying wishing bad luck on a team that we don't play every year is kind of pointless.

I follow you.  A bunch of us (hSv, ABQ, McGyver, Drakehog) watched Adrian Petterson last year in the UCLA-Oklahoma game.  He did not have a good game that day, but every time he took the ball, the crowd held its breath with anticipation.  I just love it when the atmosphere of college football is electric like that...just like when D-MAC takes a snap.  I always want to see the best players on the field...makes each game much more fun to watch.  But...if these kids cheated...if this program cheated, then they get what they deserve.

yeah I agree. The thing that we probably need to think about as fans is that there is probably things going on at UofA that if we found out about we wouldn't like much. This crap is probably going on in a lot of places. Some  a lot more than others. you know what i mean?

[bigred7987]

I agree hoping Peterson is implicated is wrong because everything I have seen from the guy is he is a class act, but "bad luck" didn't fall on Bomar and Quinn.  They brought that on themselves and the proper people found out about it.  If Peterson is implicated, Its not because of "bad luck"

I am not discounting your claim, but how do you kick certain ones off and suspend others?  There is no gray area in cheating.

I like OU, and I like the hell out of Adrian Peterson, but if he was stupid enough to drive a vehicle around for a few weeks and return it, as reported earlier in the year with the previous deal involving Big Red Cars and Probation, then he was caught with his hand in the cookie jar just like these other kids who were taking illegal benefits while in college.

He seems like a good kid but OU and Peterson both still should be penalized somehow for that mess, and that's not even including the bombshell that blew today.

You got a good point.

[WilsonHog]

You don't say..........

I wonder where a kid could get that impression? I know that mature adults spend thousands of dollars a year to follow their favorite team. And yes, grown men get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to coach those kids. It's true that those kids are collectively responsible for generating millions of dollars a year in revenue. Sure, grown men make a profession out of just asking 17 and 18-year old kids where they're thinking of going to college and then telling other grown folks about it. I've heard tell of other kids making choices about where they want to go to college based on the opportunity to watch people they don't know play football. Why, I've even heard of business people standing in line to arrange jobs for these kids and pass out cash to them for playing well. Universities, places of higher education, actually give kids full scholarships worth upwards of $200,000 just to play ball for them.

Shiite, I can't imagine why those kids think they're above the system. That's a puzzler, alright. Can anybody out there answer that question?

[gopigsgo]

I don't understand the bad vibes towards OU. I pull for them atleast
once a year. The game in Dallas. I also like Switzer. He may have been questionable at times but I loved his offense.

I think that was the point in throwing the 2 kids under the bus today.  Obviously there are other players involved an OU is trying to do some damage control.

Supposedly Bomar's tax returned listed $18k for a summer job.  Pretty flagrant.  He had to go... but they may try to spin the other players involvement as minor.

[WilsonHog]

I'm generally not the judgmental sort, but if Bomar took money for a job that he obviously knew he didn't do and then listed the income on his friggin' income tax return, OU ain't lost much.

Jeebus.

[Oklahawg]

Bomar has two DUI/DWI in Norman in the last 15 months, or so. One was the Saturday or Sunday night following a game. Is this the same OU QB who fell out of a truck, drunk, and hurt his shoulder right about the time they needed somebody his frosh year? Multiple issues with Bomar. Can't say about Quinn.

OU is rather thin at both positions. Can't accuse them of shortarming the punch to the players--they are players who wouldn't have a battle at all this fall.

There's a big difference in a player doing something foolish and then admitting to it and trying to get help to get "over" it. Bomar appears to have had no remorse and didn't care about the consequences. Tarleton State just got a great QB.

[PigKahuna]

Makes J&H Trucking look like a bunch of amateurs.  18k is bigtime!

[WILL CLINTON]

Geez, all the tutors these kids have and no one could teach them how to cheat on their taxes.  What kind of education are they getting at OU?

[benswinesmoney]

This sounds very familiar...  Did we turn ourselves in to the NCAA?  Let's just sit back and see how long this investigation takes...

It's not a part of a messy divorce, so that's kinda irrelevent.  That's what took ours so damn long is waiting for that to play out.

[UhOhioHog]

I don't understand the bad vibes towards OU. I pull for them atleast
once a year. The game in Dallas. I also like Switzer. He may have been questionable at times but I loved his offense.

It's partly because of all the fair weather fans that started showing up in NW Arkansas in 2000.  Too many so called Sooner fans with Arkansas plates and OU stickers on their cars.  I moved from Fayetteville to Dallas 2 years ago and dislike OU every bit as much as Texas.  Maybe a little more!!  I see more OU crap than Texas crap on cars in Dallas.  Once again, fair weather fans abound and that ticks me off!

Funny how they improved so much so quickly after Stoops took over.  Arizona is improving too.  Both Stoops boys are great coach's, but this makes me wonder what else they may know!!

[Atreyu]

The investigation will last until the end of the Sooner season, when Adrian Peterson is drafted number 1 overall in the NFL Draft and pays for his teammates to get out of trouble.

[Factual Fiction]

Good. Let them suffer like Arkansas did.
