Any news ?
Judging by the amount of replies, I would guess no.

Nothing at all.
Last I heard was Shannon would appear in front of the University's investigative board. Hopefully, no news is good news.
What'd I miss from over here?
All the other threads posted throughout the last month + that are still available.
After googling his name, the latest was about a month ago, it appears.

So... yeahThe woman involved in a sexual assault allegation against Oklahoma linebacker Frank Shannon does not wish to file charges against Shannon, according to the Cleveland County District Attorney's office.
Taken the length of time to act on this, my hunch is that he will be reinstated. Why would you drag this out.....and then declare him ineligible? There wasn't enough evidence for the DA to prosecute him, but OU says there is enough to kick him off?
The only thing working against Frank is the current microscope being placed on programs across the country for these kinds of issues. However, I just don't think there is enough there to warrant Shannon's dismissal.Originally Posted by champions77
Last I heard was that he still had to appear in front of the OU board, and since it probably won't be publicized, we'll have to wait and see if he shows up to summer camp to know whether or not he's still on the team. Like you, I have a hunch he's going to play his senior year.
---Lets hope he plays his Jr year first
Doh! I keep forgetting he's a redshirt guy. So, you are correct, his JUNIOR year comes first!
THE most important thing to take from that story:
Bob Stoops said Thursday Shannon is still on the team and working out with OU.
Saw this twitter last night...Bob also said he still has some "procedures" to go through with the University.
Hopefully that means they've done their hearing and he has to complete some sensitivity training/counseling type deal. Every day that goes by that they don't eject him is a good sign.

That and the fact Stoops didn't eject him right away. We all know Bob wouldn't hesitate to do so if he hought Shannon really had done something bad, regardless of the DA not filing charges.
I do believe that Bobby and Frank had a loooong talk. Which is to say that Bob talked, Frank listened and answered questions fully and without reservation. And then probably took a vow of celibacy for the balance of his OU career. Then Bob gave him a list of Hail Marys, Novenas, Stations of the Cross and other assorted stuff, made the sign of the cross over him and told him that Divine Wrath was still on the table but wouldn't happen that day.

he won't play another down at OU
Wakey Wakey Eggs & Bakey...
This is what I believe, especially with Bob's track record of getting rid of bad apples in the past. The court of Stoops has spoken.
may not be up to "the court of Stoops"...

You could be right. My premise was that Stoops would be as tough (or tougher) than whatever university court that is going to make the official call.
