How much of an effect will Willie Lyles have on this Game between Oregon & LSU?

Who the hell knows?

All eyes are on Oregon now re: Lyles but Oregon has a lot more 'splainin to do based on everything Lyles has disclosed and can back up with phone records, etc.

So far, he has disclosed very little about LSU and LSU got something tangible (for far less money) from Lyles long before the media started nosing around.

Not to say LSU couldn't be in serious trouble as well, but it's impossible for us to know right now. From what we know today, LSU might be guilty of some ticky tack minor violations because Lyles allegedly tagged along with recruits and/or coaches from LSU. That's child's play compared to what is alleged against Oregon right now.

Much of this will come out eventually but it probably won't be concluded before Labor Day. The NCAA would like to wrap it up before then but they rarely move that fast. Lyles actually embarrassed the NCAA by saying he didn't lie to them but many of the questions Yahoo asked him in June were never asked by the NCAA when the NCAA interviewed him in March. In other words, the NCAA wouldn't know jack shite if Yahoo hasn't done the serious investigative reporting to get us to this point. So I wouldn't hold out hope that the NCAA will conclude any investigation into Oregon (or LSU) before this game is played.
