DarkJourney Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 OKLAHOMA CITY -- The Oklahoma football program must forfeit all wins from the 2005 season and will lose scholarships as a result of players being paid for work they had not performed.The penalties, announced Wednesday by the NCAA, stem from a case involving two players, including Sooners starting quarterback Rhett Bomar, who were kicked off the team for being paid for work they had not performed at a Norman car dealership.Oklahoma permanently dismissed Bomar and guard J.D. Quinn point when it was determined they had knowingly and willfully been involved in receiving payment for work not performed. A third member of the team had been previously dismissed by the university for violations of team rules.Copyright 2007 by The Associated Press Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epiphanic Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Does this mean we have to recompute the BCS? "In the arena of logic, I fight unarmed."I tweet & tumble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WJMorris3 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 They shouldn't need to recompute anything, Oklahoma was a pedestrian 7-4 that year. In any case, they don't usually recompute things to account for this, it's basically figured as if both teams lost.EDIT: It's not technically a forfeit, Oklahoma is required to vacate their victories, which makes it as if to Oklahoma, the games never happened.

EatSleepJeep Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 It's being reported that OU fans are now seeking refunds and are disputing the CC charges for those games. I think it may be too late for the CC thing, but they might have a decent gripe with the school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WJMorris3 Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 does that mean Univ of Oreogn won that bowl game?Nope, it's as if no one won that game. I mean, how many teams could be claimed as legitimately wronged? Not any I can think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
