Oregon admits to recruiting violations

[strahanfan92]

EUGENE, Ore. -- Oregon has acknowledged in documents that it did not adequately monitor its football program and that it did not follow NCAA regulations relating to recruiting and use of recruiting services

A statement of "proposed findings of violations" submitted by the NCAA to the Oregon athletic department was obtained Friday in a public records request by several media outlets.

The NCAA has been looking into Oregon's recruiting practices since questions arose over a 2010 payment of $25,000 to Willie Lyles and his Houston-based recruiting service. The information that Oregon said Lyles provided for the fee was largely outdated.

Oregon has not received a formal Notice of Allegations from the NCAA. The heavily redacted documents released Friday do not include any possible penalties.

It all comes out sooner or later. Wonder what kind of sanctions will be put on them

This is the exact reason I was giving Chip Kelly kudos for getting the fuck out of dodge and coaching the Bucs. Too bad he realized Josh freeman sucks and didn't wanna deal with that shit

I could care less

Who cares.. Willie Lyles "worked" with more schools than just Oregon.

Not really sure why this matters.

We'll get a slap on the wrist, nothing major.

Go Ducks!

Because they're being singled out when there were plenty of teams paying this guy for his 5 year old videos that he stole from Rivals.

And there are plenty of other rules being broken around the country... just so happens they have Lyles on record and substantiated the claims he made about Oregon.

If the NCAA was going to do anything about this it would have already been done IMO.

The NCAA is retardedly inconsistent, so I wouldn't say that at all.

This will be Chip Kelly's undoing, especially if it turns out to be a 10.1 violation like it's being painted as (aka what got Jim Tressel fired).

In total, Oregon paid $45,245 to "at least three" recruiting services from 2008-11 "that did not conform to NCAA legislation."

Oregon "exceeded the permissible limit of coaches" recruiting "by one" in 09-11. Probable reference to Will Lyles there.

LSU will also end up taking a hammer because of their dealings with Will Lyles.

Paying for recruits and covering it up isn't major?

He's in denial. No way they only get a slap on the wrist. Punishment could be close to what USC got for football.

Especially in light of the NCAA's increased enforcement and punishment.

Oregon will end up with a 2 year bowl ban and a heavy loss of scholarships and a "show cause" order for CK that will cost him his job.
