Rhett Bomar

I feel bad for the kids at ou that are doing the right things and playing by the rules, but it is a team sport and the good guys should have tried to police the bad guys. if they did not try to stop bomar from doing this and knew about it they are getting whet they deserve. The booster should be able to be prosecuted for something. AR, is there anything that can be done to the former manager.

I'm not sure. There are some states that have enacted legislation outlawing certain actions by boosters, but damn few of them. Most have concentrated on outlawing actions by "agents".

My best guess is the guy won't face any criminal charges.

EDIT: There is one area in which he could face some serious charges - the IRS. Let's assume that the illegal payments were never recorded on the balance sheets - which would be likely if they were trying to avoid a paper trail to be discovered by the university or the NCAA. If that's the case, the guy could be in a world of hurt...

Didn't some Alabama booster end up in jail because he paid off some kid's high school coach in the sum of $100,000? He either ended up in jail or just skirted going. I think he is the one that "had a heart attack and fell down the steps" and then subsequently died.

That sounds familiar - it may have been Tennessee, though I tend to think you're correct in thinking it was Alabama. I wouldnt' be surprised if Alabama is one of the states that has a "booster" law. Since Auburn and Alabama grads fill the state legislature, they pass all kinds of laws that they think will benefit their school, and hurt the other.

Ah, I remember it now! The reason - the kid was from Memphis, a major recruiting area for Arkansas. When the report was made to the NCAA, a lot of people thought it was Arkansas that reported it - and then when it was discovered it was Fulmer, he actually skipped a mandatory SEC Coaches/Media event alleging that there had been death threats against him.

As you can imagine, it was a major media play here in Arkansas.
