re: USCw vs. Alabama

Have USC and Bama played each other since Sam Bam Cunningham caused Bama to intergrate? If USC falters all the love will be switched to Nike U.

I think USC better do the deal this year. After that CCK will continue to own that conference imo. He's smart enough to know what he has to do to take that last step. I wouldn't be surprised if he's the guy who breaks the SEC streak.

i think we should just keep winning

Upon further review, Oregon is facing its own day of judgement before the omnipotent NCAA. That reckoning could significantly alter my previous statement.

Googled Lyles and Oregon. It appears the severity is dependent on which site one visits. A recruiting violation is a major by rule. The sanction, as you intimated, is at the whim of the NCAA.

From what I know reading the papers, the evidence against Oregon is pretty damning. $25,000 for out dated recruiting info? The severity of sanction just depends on the whims of the emperor in Indy.

Right. LSU and a few other schools used his service but paid the common rate. That 25K was way out of whack. I've heard some Duck arguments that CCK isn't a business man and simply didn't know better. I would think a few guys would have to give authority to spend that kind of money though and surely they would checked the going rates. One point though, from what I remember reading. There were several different packages with varying prices. Oregon apparently did order the most expensive one. Also, the poor information wasn't known till check sent and product received. I believe this was the case for everyone. Lyles is a scam artist. Oregon is going to have to give a very good reason for that price tag. We'll see.
