Wow! This 500k and the million that AP gave a few months back? Was OU hurting, or was this a stipulation of their pay-for-play college contracts? Smart OU, smart.

Oh please, Bradford was the 16th rated quarterback in his class and AP committed after OU lost in the NC because he wanted to help take them back. Pay for play my $@%

Did he give it directly to the University, or back to the car dealership that originally gave it to him?

Why are there Alabama fans on this thread? Seems to me they should be preoccupied poisoning trees and making love to their sister's while the opossum is simmering in the smoke house.

Ticket sales, merchandise, TV revenue, etc... I think OU owes Bradford the $500K.

Fellas, do yourselves a favor and fire Bob Stoops before the season kicks off. As for Bradford, dude should keep his $$$ as his pro career will be over very soon.

Bradford is just fine. How quickly people overlook his rookie year. Cam Newton will flop similarly. It's called sophomore slump.

Sam have way too much money. Plus what have he done for the Rams? Rams were dead second to last last year. This year Sam better put up wins this comming year. No excuses this year.

Yeah, let's blame Sam for having no OL and mediocre WR's. Spoken like someone who knows little of the game.

Hard to complete passes when your offensive line is non-existent... they were down to their 3rd and 4th string by the end of the year due to injuries

People that think Sam Bradford is a bad QB in the NFL don't watch football. Nobody seems to remember when he got rookie of the year the year before, everyone just remembers last season when Bradford had a average time of 3 seconds to get the ball off before getting hit bc their offensive line was as good as a high school o-line. He was also injured the majority of the season, give the kid a chance.

You know who you need to donate to? NOT the flush with cash big schools the big time athletes went to... set up grants to help kids GO to the flush with cash schools... THEN you're REALLY helping... AND you're helping someone who actually NEEDS help... just a thought... And Sam? You MADE OU plenty of dough by PLAYING there... does nobody GET it? Wow...

Great to hear, Suh donated $5 Mil of his signing bonus to Nebraska a few years ago, now Bradford makes a nice gesture. I hope this is a sign for the over paid athletes of the future to give back some to the institution who helped them attain those vast sums..... Class act SAM. Does this mean the alumni donation juggernaut will ease off a bit.
