Re: Oregon About To Learn Its Fate From NCAA

They didn't get a wrist slap, either. It's not like the NCAA only goes after Southern schools, which is what the poster Implied[/B].


If by 'going after' you mean investigating and charging violations, you're completely off base. That's not what I 'implied' at all. If by 'going after' you mean applying excessively harsh penalties, you are correct.

The NCAA has a history of leveling uneven penalties on a case by case basis. IMO, they tend to get far more heavy-handed with sanctions on southern schools than they do with others. Of course, you can point to exceptions; but my opinion still stands.

Re: Oregon About To Learn Its Fate From NCAA

My thoughts are this is going to be very,very light. We will see soon if I am wrong.

I think this Obannon law suit is their main focus, that & the legal action to come on whatever they do with the Canes.

They the NCAA are gonna need friends, soon.

Now, if forcing Oregon to wear the same uniform and helmet more than one time in a season and not being allowed to wear neon colors is considered 'hammering,' then, yes . . . yes . . . I expect them to get the hammer. ;)

Oregon will have a press conference at 10:00 central. The report will be released at 9:30 central.

Re: Oregon About To Learn Its Fate From NCAA

Forget the probation, the meaningless order to show cause, and the menial recruiting restrictions...

Real penalties here: 3 scholarships lost, no bowl ban. That's a slap on the wrist, and a best-case-scenario outcome for Oregon. Could have a very real impact on the national championship race, too, just like the Textbook-gate decision in '09 and the Ohio State decision about 18 months ago.

How did they not at least get a 1 year bowl ban? This is a joke. Loss of 3 scholarships? Umm...join the SEC and you'll have that every year thanks to the new 25 rule.

Re: Oregon About To Learn Its Fate From NCAA

This is no punishment at all. It's 1 scholarship a year for 3 years, correct? Give me a break.

Colin Cowherd just jokingly said "How often do you get to say 'Congratulations to the University of Oregon on the sanctions'."

He is pretty livid right now. He said "they are just spinning a wheel in Indy. What did it land on? 1 scholarship loss...ok"

Re: Oregon About To Learn Its Fate From NCAA

So improper use of textbooks at Alabama is a much, much more serious offense than improper recruiting at Oregon?


regardless of Alabama being inside of the probation period...we still would have been hit harder than Oregon got today...and we took every step necessary to resolve the problem ourselves

Chip Kelly will make roughly $9,000,000.00 while under the NCAA's show clause. Poor guy.

Re: Oregon About To Learn Its Fate From NCAA

I didn't see a "show cause" in the sanctions. Just 3 years probation, and loss of one scholarship.

Edit: It is now showing up. Initial reports did not contain any such reference. Serves me right for trusting the media!

Toothless. How do they expect anyone to take them seriously as an organization?
