Oregon Ducks football in trouble?

Local (Portland) news station KATU, broke the big news Monday evening -- go read it, because it details all of the violations.

The Oregonian followed up with some background.

Addicted to Quack blog gives a nice review, but they seem like they're in denial.  They did hit the nail on the head when noting that these documents are old, insofar that they date back to last September and we really don't know where things are today, now that the two sides agreed to disagree on coming to a summary judgment over the violations.

(An aside: I really don't know how UO can concur that certain violations occurred, only to take it back.  I want a do-over too: I want to go back to my high school years and change my choices of girls that I got involved with.)

Still, until now, we didn't know what was in those documents, and now that we do know what's inside, it's clear that the breadth of violations (secondary and major) is just an itty bitty more extensive than previously reported.  So take a moment right now, and consider what all these people would be saying, if it was USC and Lane Kiffin, who'd been accused of the long list of violations -- would they still be dismissive?  I think not; I think they would have been insinuating that USC was dirty and needed to throw the book at the Trojans.

This is Tako's take, from 2011:

"Ten days into his tenure at USC, Kiffin committed his first recruiting violation by picking up a recruit from the airport in a limo. Ten days. His teams are carrying the recruiting sanctions stemming from the Pete Carroll-era violations, but who was the recruiting coordinator for USC in 2005, the year that, along with Reggie Bush's Heisman, was wiped from the record books? Lane Kiffin."

This is what David Piper wrote in 2007:

"At the very least, don't give the cheating schools an unfair advantage by failing to punish them. 

In the near future, the NCAA will have another chance to decide who they want to be.  All accounts are that payments were made to Reggie Bush during his time at USC.  Will the NCAA have the balls to give SC a tangible punishment for their violations?  I wouldn't hold my breath."

Don't throw stones from your glass house, right?
