RUMOR: Oregon To Get 2 Yr. Bowl Ban, Loss Of Scholarships

[UWfan206]

Just a rumor I read from another message board so take it for what it's worth...

Oregon will get:

4 years probation

2 year bowl ban

30 scholarships over 3 years

No off campus recruiting for Campbell or Pellum in 2013 And there are questions, regarding DATs eligibility, but that is not resolved, and will be rolled into a separate investigation.

Announcement was supposed to come today, but will likely not be released by the NCAA or UO until later in the week...

Don't know how credible are these guys:

FWIW, this was brought up today on the OSU premium board, with one of the insiders saying that he heard from a source in the NCAA that Oregon was going to get hammered.

Also there had better be a show cause for Chip Kelly. Man got caught orchestrating a cover up, he deserves exactly what JT got.

If there is any validity to the story, this may crush Oregon for a while. They don't have the historical prestige like Penn State's...even if the sanctions aren't nearly as bad.

So the NCAA wheel o' judgement landed on "severe, nearly crippling sanctions" for Oregon?

Bummer.

This would be pretty awesome if it somehow was true.

I believe it when it actually happens. I've been hearing mumblings of something coming out of Oregon for a while, but nothing ever has.

Why? I don't see how this helps either of your teams nor SOS for the conference come BCS/Playoff time.
