Even for the University of Oregon, keeping up with all of the fees that come with fighting the NCAA’s charges is becoming a costly venture. The University has spent $208,991.08 in legal fees alone for going to court against the NCAA. Invoices from the law firm, Bond, Schoeneck & King show that they have charged the UO upward of $200,000 between September 2011 and March 2013.

For over two years, the NCAA has been investigating the University’s recruitment practices for football, and if they are violating the NCAA recruitment standards. The University tried to reach a plea bargain with the NCAA in October, but they rejected it, and instead charged the University with seven recruitment violations in December.

According to the invoices from the law firm, the University saw a dramatic increase in fees starting in December and going through March, in order to prepare for the court case.

So far, the University has admitted to at least one violation regarding that the scouting services the school used did not issue quarterly reports, which is a direct violation of NCAA rules.
