HUNTSVILLE, Texas -- Quarterback Rhett Bomar, who was dismissed from Oklahoma's football team for violating NCAA rules, has enrolled at Division I-AA Sam Houston State, the university announced Monday.
Bomar passed for 2,018 yards and 10 touchdowns as a freshman at Oklahoma, but was dismissed from the team (along with offensive lineman J.D. Quinn) after a university NCAA compliance investigation showed they players took pay for work they did not perform at a Norman, Okla., car dealership.
"This is a unique situation and we look forward to assisting Rhett in continuing his education and athletic career. We will begin the restatement process for Rhett with the NCAA as soon as possible," Sam Houston State athletic director Bobby Williams said. "There is no exact time table for how long this process will take, but we will do everything possible to expedite the procedure."
Because the Bearkats of the Southland Conference play in Division I-AA, Romar would not have to sit out a season if the NCAA agrees to reinstate him.
