However, 24 jobs for football players at one car dealership even if a 
dealer "mall" shouldn't be that hard to keep track of especially when

coaching staff.   We haven't seen the end of this story as Stoops is 
only doing damage control kicking Bomar off the team.  He is trying to 
ward off heavy NCAA penalties by acting first.
