Oregon violations

[BGIF]

I dont know of any teams that dont use those services, and considering that theres much much worse going on in college football, i honestly dont see why its that huge of a deal. Much less what an appropriate penalty would be. More schollys? Maybe, but if you look at how Oregon typically recruits, they seldom get 5 star talent and the bank on player development on the 3stars or less. Just my opinion but NCAA is needed on many more things of importance than this

What's the difference between this an Alabama and Albert Means?

A zero! $25K versus $250K.

In first case, means was pimped by his HS coach to an assistant paid for by a third party, a booster, to hide the money. In the current case the pimp was a mentor who masqueraded as a recruiting analyst and was brazenly paid directly by The University bypassing the traditional booster scam.

But it's O.K., right because it was only $25K?

Lost Scholarships hurt the university, the NCAA MEMBER, and is an appropriate punishment but the number is a slap on the wrist.

I like show cause orders on the coaches but when they leave for the NFL it's the same as MLB giving a pitcher a 3 game suspension. It's no suspension at all.

Especially when someone obviously "advises" him that this will be coming. For all the rumors, Chippy was rooted until this very last go round . . .

@TedMillerRK: Oregon QB Marcus Mariota will be pretty focused on football this fall. His final 2 courses for credit this fall? Golf & yoga.

He already graduated... Who cares what he takes.

I do not believe he is. Much like Matt Leinart at USC.

Must have loaded up on classes though to graduate BEFORE his 4th year at the school. He's a redshirt junior.

He's only going into his 4th year and isn't transferring. The grad classes requirement is for 5th year transfers IIRC.
