According to KATU in Portland, the station received documents stating both the University of Oregon and the NCAA Enforcement Committee agreed the school committed a series of “major violations” between 2008 and 2011.

Now the question becomes, what does this mean for the future of the Oregon football program? The simple answer, while not very fulfilling, is no one really knows.

The documents KATU were able to receive are from September of last year, so in a sense, they are now outdated as the NCAA has made numerous changes in policy since that time.

What we do know is the list of violations were agreed on by the UO and the NCAA back in September. The most glaring violation is the UO paid for a recruiting service headed by Willie Lyles, which is a violation of NCAA rules. Lyles is a name that should be quite familiar to Duck fans, as his name was at the center of the initial violations brought up against Oregon.

What is important to note while reading the report is it is clearly stated during the investigation there was “no finding of lack of institutional control and no finding of unethical conduct.” This is good news for Oregon fans because had the committee found this to be the case, stiffer penalties would be all but certain for the athletic program.

Another key takeaway from this recently-acquired report is the tone throughout implies the UO and athletic department have been cooperative and compliant throughout the investigation process.

The report has now been seen and dissected by numerous sources, so what’s next?

According to KATU, a plea deal between the NCAA and UO was unable to be reached back in December, so the school will bring its case to the NCAA Committee on Infractions. What will happen at this meeting, expected in spring, is anyone’s guess.

While the news broken by this report is by no means good news, it is not quite time for the Oregon faithful to start fearing a multiple-year bowl ban or vacated victories.

This report is a snapshot of how the NCAA was thinking back in September, and it appears as though it is time to play the waiting game to see how the rest of this story will unfold.
