I don't live up there & I don't keep tabs on all the petty crap, that goes on from day to day, in Oregon, I really only care about & watch the Ducks football program, I don't read allot of the news either & just pretty much watch the games anymore.... from what I understand, University of Oregon Athletics Director & Chip Kelly were involved in recruiting violations {pretty much all the big schools do it, but doesn't make it right} with some Professional High School Recruiting/Scouting Company that were paid some $25k to a recruiting/scout to do some HS scouting for them, you can't be everywhere as a coach, you need outside help to compete with the SEC & other competitive conferences, you need to do the same things they do, to keep up with the recruiting of the nations top available high school players & it's a pretty regular practice all over the NCAA, not just Oregon Football & one of the scouts was involved &/or related with/to one of the players being scouted, causing a riff with the school & a conflict of interest with the A/D, Coaches, staff & the paid professional scout, it's not like it was a carnal sin, pretty minor compared to most of the NCAA violations all over especially the SEC & Big-10, ACC, Big-12 or Big East, at least the PAC-12 self polices, has a little integrity & University of Oregon along with Chip Kelly were totally cooperating & turned over all the information to the NCAA, instead of hiding behind lawyers... There are supposedly other minor violations too, but NCAA doesn't discuss or talk about them, until they determine outcome or guilt, with all the investigations over & all the information that has been released that I know of, was from the A/D at U of Oregon & not the NCAA, unless there's a leak at the NCAA, then most all the rest is just speculation or conjecture or flat out lies, to try to hurt U of Oregon's get top H/S players recruiting chances, by rival or jealous/envious schools... Chip Kelly was an escape goat, but would have been just fine, it's just another NCAA witch hunt, too bad they didn't police the SEC as well... He's gone now anyway.. good luck to the next Oregon Head Coach... I really hate the Philly Eagles too, so it doesn't make it any easier...LOL... Maybe Chip can bring some new life to the NFL, with his fast paced offenses, wear out some defenses...LOL... Good luck in Philly, he will need it, that's for damn sure... Philly must be paying him some huge money... I haven't seen the contract deal yet !!
