"It is agreed that from 2008 through 2011, the scope and nature ofthe violations set forth
in Finding Nos. 2, 3-C and 4 demonstrate that the athletics department failed to
adequatelv monitor (1) the football program's use of recruiting or scouting services;"

Regarding the recruiting or scouting services, the athletics department failed to
establish policies and procedures to monitor the football program's use of
recruiting or scouting services. Additionally, athletics administrators with
responsibilities in the football program failed to monitor the information provided
by recruiting or scouting services to ensure compliance with recruiting or scouting
service legislation. This collective failure partly resulted in the violations outlined
in Finding No. 2.

No worries. I give you props for breaking this on TD.

I live in Beaverton and work down the street from Nike so I will thoroughly enjoy the massive meltdown that ensues on the local radio talk shows tonight and next week.

According to NCAA criteria, the documents indicate the University of Oregon chose an investigation process where they don't fight the allegations in what is known as a "Summary Disposition" where the NCAA sends the university a “draft report” of allegations.

KATU News attempted to get the university to release the documents before national letter of intent signing day, which was February 1, when football recruits decide in writing where they intend to go to school.

The document is the official word from the NCAA regarding what rules it believes the university violated, if any. It follows a Notice of Inquiry issued in September to the university, indicating the NCAA was officially investigating.

KATU News talked with Stacey Osburn, Associate Director of Public and Media Relations at the NCAA, who wouldn’t comment directly on the investigation into the University of Oregon, but discussed what happens next in cases like this.

“If the school is trying to opt for a more streamlined process, they will then look at the documents and see if they agree with all of its contents, including the facts presented in the case, including the findings of violations,” Osburn said. “And if so, they will enter that streamlined process and the case would then go before an independent body, the Committee on Infractions, to determine what violations took place and what the penalty should be.”

A source tells KATU News one letter is dated from mid-December and the other is from February 1.

The second date is important because that determines when the next step will occur in the investigative process. Osburn said “the school has approximately 90 days to respond to the notice of allegations, sent by the enforcement staff, and at that point the date would be set for the Committee on Infractions to consider the case.”

According to Osburn, any sanctions against the team would be revealed in weeks to months after the case is reviewed by the Committee on Infractions.

Despite the no-fight nature of the case, Oregon officials, coaches, or other staff members can still object to what is in the letters. “They would have the opportunity to speak directly to the committee,” Osburn said.
