Here is the notice of allegations letter. It lists all of the violations at the end.
Click here for linkBasically, they hired recruiting services that were not NCAA approved/compliant. Also, once they hired this Lyles agent, the NCAA considered him to be a "booster". That made most of his contacts with recruits illegal. There were over 700 illegal phone calls to recruits. At one point they had 1 more "coach" involved in recruiting than what is allowed by the NCAA. Then they are piling on failure to monitor, and repeat violator because of an unrelated incident that happened several years earlier. I don't see anything about payments to recruits, which is what the rumor was a couple of years ago.
It looks like the NCAA is doing what they usually do. Bring the hammer for doing things like talking to recruits more than you are supposed to, all the while letting schools like the roller barn skate for actually paying the recruits big money. Since Oregon admitted to everything, they will be in big trouble. Had they tried to cover it up, or at least kept silent, the keystone cops at the NCAA would have let them get away with it.
