Interesting article. They could be in some deep sheet. Looks suspicious.

"The University of Oregon paid more than $28,000 to two men with ties to multiple recruits who signed letters of intent with the school, Yahoo! Sports has learned.

According to State of Oregon expenditure records, the university paid $25,000 to Will Lyles of Complete Scouting Services in Houston, and $3,745 to Baron Flenory of New Level Athletics. Lyles is a former athletic trainer who recently was serving as a mentor to highly touted Ducks running back recruit Lache Seastrunk. Meanwhile, Flenory runs the Badger Sports Elite 7-on-7 football camps which have featured several celebrated Ducks signees including running back DeAnthony Thomas, defensive back Cliff Harris, defensive back Dior Mathis and wideout Tacoi Sumler. Flenory had a personal training relationship with recent Ducks signee Anthony Wallace."

Sounds pretty serious.

Thanks for posting (cred up).

$28,000 paid?  Boosters are cheap in Oregon.  That's at least a degree of magnitude too low for the south.

Yep, they are (how did you say?) in deep sheet.

I wonder if this is what cowherd was referring to, and not the SI criminal story.

Either way, forget the ducks.

Got to be Cowherd's story.

And Les just caught another break.

Oregon got awful good awful fast. They may be on the up and up but There may but some funny stuff going on there

Well I thought Coach Chip Kelley was a brillant coach or something. He got all that speed and knew how to use it. No wonder if this is true, it helps out to slide some payments to guys you don't want to loose. RTR!

I just don't understand why coaches and boosters would do something so stupid - I mean, they KNOW the consequences once they get caught - and they will get caught.
I feel sorry for the players who will be the ones most affected.. the ones who aren't guilty of any of these things.   just sad to me.

Yea Terrie. I think about the fans who sit on pins and needles till all the answers pop up and they want to be able to win that NC. I will personally it was a long hard road for us when we got punished for something we didn't even do. RTR!

They really don't think they will get caught, that's why. Especially boosters, they usually include rich guys who think they can wheel & deal any way they want to.

Terrie, it's easy to envision a booster cheating when there is a combination of alcohol, arrogance, and pomposity.

So the NC game was played by 2 cheaters it would appear. Should have called it the PFP bowl. (Play for Pay).

Clever.  Gave you cred for it.  If not original, I'll take it back.

Don't laugh. It's very possible this will be known as teh Cheaters Bowl in the future. Kinda like the Black Sox of he 1919 World Series.

Well I have to say I really think CNS runs as fair of a program that he can possibly run. The thing I like about it is, he knows everything that goes on, and he deals with it. He is a full control coach and I love it. Even the power of the Media doesn't bother him. When his time is over he will be known as the Power of Alabama Football. RTR!
