Published on: Author: admin Leave a comment

Recent reports from The Oregonian and KATU News in Portland, among other media entities, have released information regarding the NCAA’s current investigation into the recruiting practices of the Oregon football program.

According to the documents granted to the Oregonian and KATU, the NCAA said they had “no finding of lack of institutional control and no finding of unethical conduct.” Even so, both Oregon and the NCAA disagree on one very large elephant in the room: the use of street agent and scout Willie Lyles. The two parties will meet at an unspecified date sometime within the next year to discuss punishments for the Oregon football program’s wrongdoings.

DuckTV Sports’ Erin Maloney caught up with head coach Mark Helfrich and quarterback Marcus Mariota to get their thoughts on the investigation.
