FanHouse JD Quinn

The Sooners are no strangers to the NCAA's Committee on Infractions. With six football cases in their file, it's no shock to find them near the top of this list. That said, prior to Bomar-gate Oklahoma had kept its nose clean for almost 20 years. Almost.

In incidents contained in the 1988 case report were touched off when the NCAA's Project Intercept picked up on some suspicious Sooner recruiting practices. Project Intercept was a program which interviewed top prospects in basketball and football, trying to catch violations of NCAA recruiting rules. For all intents and purposes, it was a fishing expedition... and during their fishing in 1985, the NCAA hooked a whopper.Sorry, No Photos

Rhett Bomar and JD Quinn (and Oklahoma's rich history of flaunting NCAA regulations) just landed Oklahoma in a fair bit of trouble, but don't come crying to Quinn for sympathy:



Oh, the irony of JD Quinn telling someone -- anyone -- to "get a real job." While it's understandable Quinn is a little testy -- I imagine his inbox looks a lot like the FanHouse's comment section when you say mean things about Montana -- he's proven himself to be a selfish little man over the past couple years. Figuratively. I mean, obviously. As soon as he got booted off the team, he sold OU out in public, then tried to backtrack. The guy had the audacity to say "all I did is take cash" as if it had not been specifically and repeatedly pointed out that doing so would only lead to bad things.

I'm with the OU fans in all this: why do these guys get off basically scot free while Oklahoma takes the fall? Bomar and Quinn should have their eligibility stripped; then they can find out what real jobs are like. (I suggest blogging!)
