Oregon's NCAA penalties expected to be announced this week

[JSeahawks]

I'm guessing that penalties will be lighter then most expect.

A few scholarship losses.
One coach on some recruitment restrictions (allowed less visits).
No bowl ban.

But, we'll see. Even if we do get a bowl ban I'm just glad its finally going to be over. I think the worst part of it has already happened for the Ducks in that opposing coaches have been able to negatively recruit about the situation for the last 2 and a half years, i'm sure that's cost us a few good players.

We've been dealing with that kind of negative negative recruiting since 2006 due to the Bush mess.

Thanks a lot, Reggie. Would it kill you to man up and apologize?

 

[JSeahawks]

I'm actually surprised that Reggie Bush hasn't apologized to that fan base. Has he even acknowledged the problems he caused in any way?

They didn't find anything crazy damning that happened, Sanctions won't be ridiculous.

I know Oregon is trying to spin that it's unrelated, but sure seems like they're hanging their long time compliance guy out to dry hoping he'll take the brunt of the fall. I think I read where Gary Gray has been in the athletic department close to 30 years, and he's conveniently had his retirement announced a couple days before sanction happen.

Although I can't stand Oregon athletics (mostly because it's a pro franchise that is very tenuously associated with a school, at a level even more egregious than elsewhere) the allegations are innocuous at best and don't/shouldn't add up to any severe sanctions. That being said, if they are tagged as a repeat violator, all bets are off.

Looks like the official announcement will come tomorrow morning.

 

[JSeahawks]

I'm hearing as part of the penalty U of O will be required to let UW win once a decade.

But on the real, i'm nervous. I don't expect a bowl ban, but ya never know with the NCAA. Whatever it is, it is I guess. Mostly i'm just glad its over, even if we do get punished more severely then I expect.

 

[SeatownJay]

I heard part of the ruling will be that Oregon will be limited to only 4 uniform combinations for the next 2 years.

My favorite tweet:

@atqdave: #OregonSanctions Oregon's locker room gets shiny new XBox Ones, but no internet connection.

Punish the kids that had nothing to do with it? that makes no sense.

I hate Oregon with their stupid hand O's and all that crap, but I don't want to see them buried, or anything harsh.

 

[AbsolutNET]

Huard just tweeted that OU got a "wrist slap" but no further info

 

[CPHawk]

A reduction of 1 scholie a year for two years and a reduction in official visits. There you have it. Oh and Chip got hit with a show cause from the ncaa.

 

[Throwdown]

jeeeeez Nike must've stepped in or something

 

[Tech Worlds]

Basically nothing happened

 

[sainthawk29]

Wow...... USC got a modern day death penalty (it would have killed any other non-traditional powerhouse). and Oregon losses one scholarship???? Am I missing something. For the Record I have no dog in this fight, as I neither a Duck or Trojan fan.

But the punishment is ridiculously small. Especially given NCAA's record of bringing the hammer.

Looks like Uncle Phil put together a little care package for the NCAA investigators.
