I feel a little more positive about this issue lately. I was thinking the Ducks would face moderate/low sanctions. Now, I think it feels like less. I thought Chip's media day interviews were reassuring. But like you said, you never know with the NCAA. Bye the way, Rob Mosely quipped last week that he would be surprised if Kiko Alonso doesn't play.........:yelwink2:
Whatever happens...it won't be soon. If the NCAA has been investigating Miami for 5 yrs already....I think they just got 10 more years of stuff to investigate. The NCAA will be too busy with Miami to look at Oregon. They'll probably have to rubber stamp whatever self sanctions you'all come up with.
Sounds good to me. The law group Oregon hired has a history of working in conjunction with the NCAA. After their cases are resolved, the lawyers/University work with the NCAA in strengthening and clarifying the bylaws. Cooperation like this might lead to the quick resolution that you suggest.
I don't think that's quite true. If Oregon decided to cut ties with LS, they can at least argue that their team didn't benefit from any illegal benefits he may have received. This is the type of thing that helped LSU out in our most recent case (the player in question never played a game, so no wins were in danger). If there are more violations that LS knows about, but that we haven't heard yet, then he's more dangerous away from Oregon. But if the Lyles accusations are it, then this will probably help Oregon with the NCAA. I hope that's the case. GEAUX TIGERS
If LS were to talk about any wrong doings considering his recruitment, he risks his eligibility... his lips are sealed.
No his eligibility is at risk if he doesn't talk. If he spills the beans to the NCAA he gets off free as a bird. He doesn't even have to tell the truth, just make up lies and tell them something(see Lester Earl).
