Bomar will not be attending UH
Despite the assurances of some posters on CoogFans.com that Rhett Bomar would be enrolling at the University of Houston, it appears that he will be attending Sam Houston State. Here is the Dallas Morning News report by Brian Davis:
Former Oklahoma quarterback Rhett Bomar has enrolled at Sam Houston State, a school spokesman said Monday. But at this point, it's still unclear if he can practice, much less play, with the Division I-AA Bearkats.
"At this point, quite honestly, we don't know what his situation is working out wit the team," Sam Houston State spokesman Paul Ridings said. "But we have begun the reinstatement process with the NCAA."
Bomar, a sophomore from Grand Prairie, was kicked off the OU football team in early August for violating NCAA rules. He and teammate J.D. Quinn received money for work they did not perform at a car dealership in Norman, Okla.
Under normal transfer rules, a player going from a Division I-A school to a I-AA school can play immediately and not sit out one year. Bomar, however, must have his playing status evaluated by the NCAA student-athlete reinstatement committee.
Bomar could receive no additional punishment or be forced to sit out a number of games.
"We're happy to welcome Rhett as a BearKat," Sam Houston State coach Todd Whitten said.
It's always wise to treat "news" posted on fan message boards with skepticism.
