According to a report from Sports Illustrated, Oregon met with the NCAA Committee on Infractions last Friday to discuss the “major violations” the school and the NCAA agreed upon regarding Oregon’s recruiting practices under Chip Kelly. The Ducks reportedly spent $35,000 on recruiting services, though former head coach Chip Kelly maintained at the hearings that the Ducks used these services “the same way other schools do.”
While the Ducks haven’t faced the dreaded “lack of institutional control” charge, they could be considered repeat violators after the Ducks’ last major violations in 2004. The NCAA is expected to make a decision in the next 60-90 days, meaning that any potential postseason bans could go into effect as early as next season.
