If Thompson can actually make some good in-game decisions, he'll be a good QB. If not, then we have problems, and a serious lack of depth.
As for the scandal -- do you seriously want to start comparing programs and their reactions to this type of thing? It turns out that Bomar, for example only received $2,000 or so in undue benefits. I can think of two players for other teams off my head who have received less in the way of penalties for similar infractions:
USC -- Jarrett received thousands in free rent from Leinhart's father -- 1 game suspension.
Ohio State -- Maurice Clarett, need I say more?
I'm not too worried though. The head of the NCAA has publicly announced that he was very impressed with how Stoops handled this. I don't think there will be any NCAA repercussions unless they can prove there was institutional involvement.
Big Red has since sold to a new owner, and the GM who did all of this has overnight become a local pariah.
