Bad news from Charles Robinson of Yahoo! Sports, who is reporting that attempts by the University of Oregon to get a summary disposition in the Will Lyles case has failed, and that the school will face a hearing before the NCAA Committee of Infractions this spring. Oregon had hoped to get a summary disposition, essentially copping to an agreed-upon version of violations and penalties, but the two sides were unable to come to an agreement on exactly what violations occurred and what penalties were appropriate.

According to Robinson, one sticking point seems to be who was to blame for the lack of physical scouting reports. Oregon claims that they received oral reports, and that Lyles is at fault for not providing written reports. The NCAA disagreed with that assessment. Additionally, four other charges have been redacted in public reports. Other known charges against Oregon are failure to monitor use of scouting services, and having an extra coach on the recruiting trail.

This is not good news for Oregon, as a summary disposition would have ended the case. Given the two sides' inability to agree on proposed infractions and consequences, it certainly has to make Duck fans more nervous that serious sanctions could occur. The Committee on Infractions is highly unpredictable.

So for now, Oregon fans await our fate, and things should be resolved one way or another this summer.

Chip this is Pete Carroll, take my advice, when the NCAA starts closing in the best to do is have your agent contact any team in the NFL that needs a coach and get the hell out of town...:biggrin_blue:

Remember the NCAA investigation into Oregon's dealings with prep adviser Willie Lyles?

According to Charles Robinson and Rand Getlin of Yahoo! Sports, the school's attempt to resolve the governing body's query through summary disposition has failed, which means the Ducks now face a likely appearance before the Committee on Infractions sometime in the spring in Indianapolis, which the school wanted to avoid.



Of course, Yahoo! Sports originally reported that Oregon paid Lyles $25,000 for alleged scouting services in March 2011. Four months later, Lyles told Yahoo! Sports that the money helped influence and deliver recruits to the Ducks program.


After an NCAA investigation commenced, Oregon sought a summary disposition, suggesting to the COI the violations the school believed had occurred as well as potential sanctions. However, according to the report, the committee disagreed with various parts of the infractions that the school believed took place as well as what the Ducks thought was appropriate punishment. Thus, a hearing will take place, and head coach Chip Kelly may have to take part in it. That is, if he is still in Eugene.


Of course, several reports throughout the fall have linked Kelly to a variety of NFL openings, citing possible NCAA violations as one reason why he may bolt to the NFL. Kelly, as you may remember, nearly took the Tampa Bay Buccaneers job that ultimately went to Greg Schiano this past offseason.


It is unknown whether Kelly has been thoroughly interviewed by NCAA investigators up until this point, though one would think that he has because this investigation has dragged on so long. If the head coach did leave after this season, it would be in Oregon's favor if he did get a chance to talk as to give an explanation for the payment to Lyles. A reasonable explanation could help limit the severity of possible sanctions for the program. Keep in mind that Kelly composed handwritten "thank you" notes to Lyles, and Lyles has already talked to the NCAA about his relationship with the Ducks staff.
