Documents released by the University of Oregon show the school and the NCAA agree "major" violations were committed by the football program, both The Oregonian and Portland, Ore., television station KATU reported Monday.
The documents focus heavily on Will Lyles, who ran a recruiting and scouting service and has been widely reported to be at the center of the investigation, according to the reports. Most of the alleged violations cited occurred during the tenure of former Ducks coach Chip Kelly, who left Oregon in January to become the coach of the Philadelphia Eagles.
Both The Oregonian and KATU received the documents after filing a public records request.
"There were underlying major violations coupled with failure to monitor violations involving the head coach (2009 through 2011) and the athletics department (2008-2011)," NCAA enforcement staff wrote in the report, according to KATU.
However, the documents also state NCAA enforcement staff said they had "no finding of lack of institutional control and no finding of unethical conduct," key points when it comes time for punishment to be considered, KATU reported. Oregon is expected to appear before the NCAA's committee on infractions sometime this year.
The university gave a statement to The Oregonian on Monday night following the documents' release that read: "The review is ongoing until the NCAA Committee on Infractions issues its final report. The integrity of the process and our continued full cooperation with the NCAA prohibits us from publicly discussing the specifics of this matter."
To be fair, what SMU did was a lot worse. The NCAA caught them paying players and told them to stop. They continued to pay players and that's when the NCAA gave them the "death penalty."

Not to mention what Craig James did to those five poor hookers while he was at SMU...
ohsix, I don't think Chavez is saying this is comparable to the SMU case... He is saying that they are getting off easy compared to say BSU who got LOIC for players letting new players (who haven't started/enrolled in school yet) sleep on their couches and floors.
I was really hoping JFF's latest image was real and not PS'd. Regardless, it's pretty entertaining stuff. _________________ www.TheLiquidPlayground.com

Anyhow, here's a video from the final roll on saturday. i personally didn't go, mainly because I didn't want to fight the crowd, and because the last time I rolled it was one January night a couple years back in 2010. Insane amount of people. I work right across the street, and was pretty glad not to be working after hearing of how busy we were from my coworkers

twitter/message board chatter is that golson is being expelled for cheating on his final exams.
lot of players leaving nd lately. keil, golson, jake golic to cinci (no loss there - he never played), davonte neal to arizona, and vanderdoes looks like he isn't going to play for nd for whatever reason.
When Texas A&M was a member of the Big 12, it scheduled home-and-home series with USC and Oregon. The USC series was scheduled for 2015-16. The Oregon series was set for 2018-19.
"When you combine USC and Oregon with the nonconference games we have planned with Arkansas, SMU and the others in the coming seasons, I think our future football schedules will be challenging and highly entertaining," then Texas A&M athletic director Bill Byrne said at the time.
Looked like nice matchups and a good trip for fans. Great opportunity for the Pac-12 to go 4-0 against a quality foe.
Now that Texas A&M is a member of the SEC, those series are dead.
Which stinks.
Was cowardice -- known as savvy scheduling in some parts -- to blame? Perhaps, but it sounds like things have been pretty complicated from a logistical side for A&M.
From the Houston Chronicle:
Those games are no longer part of A&M's plans, [A&M AD Eric] Hyman said, because "having switched from the Big 12 to the SEC, we've had to scrub our whole schedule - throw it almost out. Going forward, we've had conversations with people, but we really can't be contractually (obligated) until the conference says you've got the green light."
Slive said this week, moving forward, he intends for SEC schools to first receive their league game dates and then schedule non-conference contests around those.
"When we know what we've got and we know where the holes are and what we have to work with," Hyman said in regard to when scheduling can be tackled.
Further, USC has stepped back from its once aggressive scheduling. It's next major nonconference foe, other than the annual matchup with Notre Dame, is Texas in 2017-18. Oregon has a home-and-home set up with Michigan State for 2014-15.
So now Oregon will have to schedule Missouri A&T and all the morons of the CFB universe will critic Oregon's NC schedule. _________________ Is President Obama a Keynesian?
scott a, my take on it is that the usc contract was never signed, only agreed to, so it's just not going to get signed. the oregon contract is signed and is going to take a buyout/negotiations that just haven't happened yet.
I really hope this doesn't become a thing. Thankfully, it sounds like this was just a one-off test that the mask mfg did for fun. https://twitter.com/Badassmasks
