Rumor: 3 Years Probation - 2 Schollies Per Year

sho what would the probation entail I wonder? Limits on who can go out and recruit or something?

 

ah gotcha thanks. I for some reason interpreted that as 3 years probation + 2 Scholarships a year. So like 2 seperate punishments. I'm an idiot lol

 

Wait what?!? I thought Canzano said the Lyles scandal could end up costing Chip his job.

These must just be some warm up penalties before the real penalties are announced.

 

Oregon adds to Willie Lyles paper trail through new document release

More documents about NCAA’s investigation of Willie Lyles released

As the NCAA continues its investigation of the Oregon football program’s recruiting practices, the university on Tuesday released a bundle of documents related to the inquiry.

Most of the documents are heavily redacted, but some appear to corroborate claims made by Willie Lyles, the so-called Texas street agent whose ties to both Oregon coaches and recruits is at the heart of the NCAA’s inquiry.

The university released the documents after public records requests were made by The Register-Guard and other news outlets. Some of the records requests were made five months ago.

One item released by the university was a second invoice from Lyles’ Complete Scouting Services. The invoice is dated Feb. 22, 2011 — exactly one year after Lyles shipped Oregon a nearly identical invoice for a “national” recruiting package.

After receiving the first invoice, Oregon paid Lyles $25,000 in March 2010 for recruiting videos and a 143-page package of player profiles that were later proven to be outdated. The university provided copies of that $25,000 check earlier this year, claiming that the payment was for legitimate recruiting services.

Lyles, in interviews with Yahoo Sports and The Register-Guard in July, said Oregon had not paid the second $25,000 invoice.

University officials and coach Chip Kelly have refused comment on the investigation, except to say that they have cooperated with the NCAA.

It’s been almost two months since the NCAA issued Oregon a “notice of inquiry,” which marks the formal start of an investigation. UO President Richard Lariviere was notified of the inquiry via phone in mid-September; the university then made the notice public on Sept. 17, just a few hours before kickoff of Oregon’s home game against Missouri State.

The next step in the process is a “notice of allegations.” According to its guidelines, the NCAA has to provide a status update to the UO within six months of the notice of inquiry.

As of Tuesday, the UO had not received a notice of allegations, university spokesman Phil Weiler said.

The documents released Tuesday confirm that Kelly has been interviewed at least twice by NCAA investigators, first in late March and again in August.
Also released were phone records of Kelly, running backs coach Gary Campbell and recruiting assistant Josh Gibson.

The records show that Kelly and Lyles had four conversations between January and April this year. Kelly had a 12-minute call with Lyles on Feb. 17; less than 90 minutes later, Lyles e-mailed Oregon some recruiting files, documents released by the UO earlier this year show.

Lyles told Yahoo in July that Oregon coaches had “scrambled” in February and wanted him to send the recruiting profiles retroactively.

The last call between Kelly and Lyles this year was a nine-minute call on Feb. 28, four days before Yahoo first reported Oregon’s connection to Lyles. Campbell and Lyles spoke 22 times during the same four-month period at the beginning of this year, including a six-minute call on Feb. 17.

Between January 2010 and June 2011, Gibson and Lyles talked 178 times. They talked for 94 minutes on June 2, at which times Lyles, in earlier interviews, claimed he asked for the second $25,000 payment.

The last two conversations between Gibson and Lyles were on June 14 of this year, for a total of 27 minutes.

At least two Oregon players — Josh Huff and Dior Mathis — not previously believed to be part of the NCAA investigation, were named, either directly or indirectly, in the latest documents.

In an e-mail to Oregon director of compliance Bill Clever on March 21 of this year, Angie Cretors, the NCAA’s associate director of agents, gambling and amateurism activities, asked to interview Huff “due to the fact that he is from Texas. I don’t anticipate his interview lasting as long.”

Another e-mail from Cretors to Clever on May 19 lists as the subject “Mathis unofficial visit docs.”

Pamela Mathis, Dior’s mother from Detroit, also exchanged e-mails with Clever in May to confirm her meeting at a Detroit hotel with Steve Duffin, the NCAA’s associate director of enforcement.

Through September, the university has paid $69,000 to the law firm Bond, Schoeneck & King, which was hired to help the UO through the investigation.
Oregon assistant coaches Campbell, John Neal and Scott Frost were scheduled to be interviewed by NCAA investigators in late March. Three other assistants — Nick Aliotti, Mark Helfrich and Don Pellum — were scheduled to be interviewed in June in the basement of Matthew Knight Arena.

In media interviews last summer, Lyles said he did not steer recruits to Oregon, but he told Yahoo that he believes he was paid for what Oregon “saw as my access and influence with recruits.”

Lyles has been described as a mentor to recruits, including star running back LaMichael James, plus Lache Seastrunk and Dontae Williams, all Texas natives who signed with the Ducks. Seastrunk and Williams have since transferred.

At issue for Oregon is whether the NCAA would deem Lyles a booster for the school because of the payment and because of his involvement with members of the coaching staff, including Kelly, during their recruiting efforts in Texas. If so, his relationship with the players could be construed as violating NCAA rules.

NCAA bylaw 13.02.14 defines a “representative of the institution’s athletics interests” as someone “who is known (or should have been known) by a member of the institution’s executive or athletics administration to ... be assisting or to have been requested (by the athletic department staff) to assist in the recruitment of prospective student-athletes.”
