OKLAHOMA CITY -- Oklahoma starting quarterback Rhett Bomar will not play for the Sooners this season following an investigation by the team, according to a television report.
Oklahoma confirmed that two players had been dismissed by the team but did not identify them. The school said in a statement that the players violated NCAA rules by working at a private business and taking "payment over an extended period of time in excess of time actually worked."
Oklahoma City television station KWTV reported that Bomar, who set an Oklahoma freshman record with 2,018 passing yards after taking over as the Sooners' starter in the second game last season, was one of the two players who had been permanently dismissed.
"We spend a considerable amount of time addressing our players regarding their personal conduct and the NCAA rules," head coach Bob Stoops said in a statement. "They know exactly what we expect from them. Ultimately, they have to make right decisions. The same holds true for our boosters. When they do not, the consequences are serious, and we will not tolerate this behavior.
"Our team and university actions are necessary because of the intentional participation and knowledge of the student athletes in these violations," Stoops said.
A top-rated recruit out of high school, Bomar redshirted his first season while 2004 Heisman Trophy winner Jason White completed his career. Bomar lost a quarterback competition to Paul Thompson last fall, but was named the starter after the Sooners lost to TCU in the first week.
He started Oklahoma's final 11 games and completed 54 percent of his passes, while throwing 10 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Oklahoma finished 2005 by winning six of its final seven games, including a victory against Oregon in the Holiday Bowl.
"I firmly believe that our program is stronger than any individual player and that a championship program cannot compromise its values," Stoops said in the statement.

Still though, it hurts OU because Bomar was the best they had. They are (were) picked to win the South division this year.

Texas may win the Big 12, but they wont make a big-time national uproar, they will be starting a new QB (Snead looks like to be the real deal, time will tell), their RB's are all young, and their WR's did not stand out with the exception of Sweed. They lost one All-American OL and another All-Big 12 OL. They also lost a Thorpe winner at S and a All-Big 12 CB.
Texas may win 10 games, and they dont play a game outside of Texas till October, but how will they rebound after a big L at home in Week 2?

They also lost a rb a week or so ago. I think he got booted.

texas isn't gonna be a shadow of themself last year, but it'll still be good enough to win the big 12...there's just not anyone else good enough to take the spot
