Major Program (Oregon) In Hot Water

[ACamp1900]

I believe only two members of the S.W.C. weren't impaled by the NCAA prior to its implosion. UTx wasn't one of them. Texas boosters payed Davy Crockett's way to the Alamo.

When you bring up current dirty programs... you're not thinking Texas and one isn't thinking Mack Brown, that's where the "someone you wouldn't expect" comes from... and they are a major program... Northwestern, Stanford and others are not

If it is supposedly a "midwestern" team, then why does ScUM think that their poop dont stink? With all the shadyness of the DickRod era, I wouldnt be suprised at all if there was more on them.

I doubt anything comes out any time soon. I'm sure a story will eventually come out some day that a major D1 program was cheating, and the guy that posted this will say that is what he was talking about. But I call bull****. Its like a psychic . . . "you have lost someone close to you, recently, haven't you?" What are the chances that the statement is not true? It doesn't mean you actually know anything.

Just some guy looking for attention. I'll put vBucks on that.

The NCAA may have uncovered JoePa's autopsy report from 1989. Could be the first use of the NCAA "Hoax" Clause.

JoePa has more lives than a cat.

I lived in Houston when the SWC killed itself. While Texas has more talent than any other state they also have more dirty boosters. SMU, A&M, UTx - it's a way of life. The high schools buy players.

not saying they don't... but nationally this is unexpected...

People have been asking for years how Mack ties up all those key players so early.

 

[eNDzone]

Maybe it is ND and they are going to nail us for having two Head coaches on the payroll for to many years in a row.

If it can be any team in the nation, I guess (in order):

Clemson
Texas
TCU
Illinois
South Carolina

If Midwest is part of the clue sign me up for (in order):

Illinois
Wisconsin
Ohio State
Michigan
MSU

In no way do I think it can be us. I don't know... I'm not a booster but I knew a lot of players and am pretty involved with the athletic department now... I just can't see it. Most kids who take money come from a bad background and need it. Who is the last big time recruit we've gotten who also had a bad background and support structure? I can't really think of a single one in recent memory.

Illinois constantly lands stars seemingly out of the blue. From a source who works in Wisconsin sports marketing, I have heard many stories of how back in the day (SMU scandal era) Wisconsin definitely paid players. Ohio State is dirty... that is a no brainer though so that doesn't really fit the surprise thing. Michigan and MSU are my dark horses as they seem like programs you really wouldn't expect so that fits the clue.

Err thats exactly the point. "A team you wouldn't expect"...

Exactly

Where did the Midwest become a factor?

Apparently a major news source is about to publish a report about a major D-1 school that not many would expect.

 

[NDinMich]

This exact same quote is posted on a USC discussion forum I just found without the mention of a "Midwest Team." A lot of the same speculations are on that forum as are on here. Texas is getting A LOT of mentions!

Oregon is a name that has been brought up that is drawing some attention as well.

... Oregon is a name that has been brought up that is drawing some attention as well.

Swoosh!

 

[NDPhilly]

Oregon... makes sence that booster who pays for all their facilities and fancy jerseys could have somethin to do with it

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

I am betting this a whole bunch of nothing. It's the off season, people have nothing better to do than spread rumors.

 

[Riddickulous]

Coming from me, I guarantee that it's Notre Dame and that it will happen.

Aaron Lynch, Stephon Tuitt, Ishaq Williams, and Roby Toma were all given mansions in the Bahamas, cars, diamond rings, backstage passes to a Kanye West concert, a chance to meet Regis Philbin (AKA the Creator of This World), coupons to Bennigan's, and some gumballs.

Golden Tate was given a lifetime supply of Top Pot maple bars.

Thank you, Oh Jinx Meister!

 

[IrishInFl]

I wonder if their source was a reporter from Bleacher Report.

More info, please. ["Double your pleasure, double your fun ..."]

Smoke in Palo Alto!

I like it.

I lol'ed for 5 straight minutes while trying to explain to my wife why this is hilarious. Thank you.

Midwest is a factor because the guy who posted the story via the initial link is the Midwest reporter from Scout. That is why this is just wild and reckless speculation.

 

[irish1958]

On XM College Sports radio this afternoon, they said it was an SEC team and that there will be a panel of national figures (one of whom will be C. Rice) meeting in late March to try to offer solutions to the problems with college sports.

Why is my facepalm emoticon not here yet?! Another brilliant chance wasted! Now I have to go and copy/paste/BBCode...

One sec...

Here we are

Swoosh!

I just got this notice on twitter.I know C.C. is FAR from a major D1 program,but found this interesting.

 

[IrishBlood81]

T'was worth posting again

I still laugh every time someone brings that up...love the Avatar on here where he's diving into....Maple Bars...

 

[Old Man Mike]

This is the only Riddickulous statement which HAS to be true.

 

[irish1958]

I know who it is!

I know who it is!

I found out from a reliable source that it is CAL TECH! This comes on the heels of their establishing their longest winning streak in 26 years. Rumor has it that it has been alleged that the coach Oliver Eslinger has been in trouble before, with at least one unpaid parking ticket!
