Well, at least they only have to worry about kicking five guys off the team at a time...

I think this should be a rule everywhere. This could be a topic on the West Mall.

ou sucks!

And this will help prevent another Bomargate how?

Do some research on FedEx's internship program for University of Memphis basketball players and you will find a lot of smoke.

Only 3 of the 20+ players who worked at Big Red Sports and received illegal benefits got into any trouble anyway, so I don't see the need for this rule. I guess they are getting tired of letting even their ****** players cheat, so this will be a way to allow only the top tier guys extra benefits.

I think this is simply a booster drive. When they all can "work" at the same place, then you have to find one really, extremely dedicated "booster". But when only 5 can "work" at any given booster's business at a time, then you have to get more "boosters". However, none of them have to be as dedicated because they can all spread the "love" around more (which makes it easier to find and keep them "boosting", and it also reduces NCAA visibility (50 guys all "working" at the same place).

As the saying goes, there are only a few things you can count on: Death, Taxes and OU Cheating.

That assumes that the Compliance Monitor in the OU Athletic Department can actually count to five...

A company can still employ Mom, Dad-and 3 siblings, 2 uncles and one cousin.

This policy will henceforth be called the Sooner Share the Wealth Plan.

The depth of gooner wisdom never ceases to amaze me.

 

[elliotthorn]

Isn't this a reincarnation of the "Big Red" employer model?

You'll have 25 on the payroll, and 5 will rotate "working."

Not sure I see anything new here.

OU strikes again.

Someone needs to get the facts straight.

It's "No more than 5 Kia's per 1 Sooner"

OrangeClad has a point - I think the Sooners are on to something. The further you spread them out, the harder it is to catch the whole lot. Similar to the underground resistance in a war - you separate them into a bunch of small cells instead of one large group. That way, one cell can get caught without taking down the whole movement.

Someone mentoined the monitor not counting being able to count to 5.

Clearly 5 was chosen for a reason. 1 hand to count them on and the other hand to point to the fingers as you count.
