McDuck

May 1 has come and gone, as has the two day paperwork processing window. In theory he won't be eligible to play next fall. Strange timing, is there more to the story?

College Leaders Urging NCAA to Enforce New NIL Guidelines, Or Else WWW.SI.COM Athletic directors say schools with boosters who have struck deals with players who have not yet signed with schools should be sanctioned.

It appears Dan Lanning doesn't need to be ostentatious, looks like modest living quarters.

Excelled both as an athlete and a writer. Kenny Moore, former UO distance runner, 2-time Olympian, journalist and author, dies at 78 WWW.OREGONLIVE.COM Moore was a three-time All-American for legendary UO coach Bill Bowerman.

Quick glance at his stats compared to the 21-22 Duck's would put him at tenth in FG %, 4th in 3pt % and tied for 4th in FT %. According to ESPN he shot 39.6% from the field, the entire Oregon team averaged 45.1. What am I missing that makes him more than a warm body?

Disagree. They barely scratched the surface with Reggie Bush. They knew when recruiting him his family didn't have money (reportedly not even a credit card) but suddenly his father is jetting to away games and strolling the sidelines dressed to the nines. They turned a blind eye--didn't want to know. There were numerous monied boosters and celebs strolling through practice and team functions. Pete Carroll kept it loose. Players "took it upon themselves" to drive a couple hours to watch a high school recruit? No recruiting violations there, right? USC got the Al Capone treatment, punished heavily for the violation they could easily prove. Capone got eleven years for tax evasion but you know the sentence was for far more than that. Same with USC and Reggie.

Trojans ooze self pity from every pore. I haven't seen anything like it since the Purple Poodle Billie Joe cashed in his fruit basket.

I have never voiced an opinion on the amount of damages which would be appropriate, I certainly have never stated the plaintiff should receive the full amount of the lawsuit. Taking a belief that the "professional" adults in the room should have exercised caution and extrapolating that I advocate a nine figure settlement is using a very broad brush. I really don't know what is a reasonable amount, I'm not in the courtroom, I haven't heard the testimony. In other words I don't have sufficient data to draw a valid conclusion. Anything else is simply reacting to emotion.

Mad that Mike Bellotti knew the rules.

Obviously it depends on the endeavor. 3 of 85 wrong answers on a SAT test is pretty darn good. However I'm not buying any chicken from the plant that has "only" 3.5% of the product contaminated with salmonella nor am I booking an airline where 3 of 85 flights crash. Most programs in most years don't send athletes to the hospital for rhabdomyolysis and that should be the standard. This was egregious.

The former Nebraska DL Jordan Riley appears set to complete his transfer to Eugene. In addition I saw this morning Casey Rogers, another Cornhusker DL projected starter, is a possible Oregon addition. Casey Rogers is a 6-4, 240-pound Strong-Side Defensive End from Avon, CT. 247SPORTS.COM summary

The former Washington State kicker Andrew Boyle is still listed as a transfer to Oregon and could serve as a backup punter. No idea why he wasn't here for spring ball but his Twitter account states he is a kicker for the Oregon. Also the Oregon football twitter account claimed he signed in February.

Committed to the good guys. Welcome aboard.

I'm guessing a Division 2 running back who had a 27 carry, 120 yard season is not on scholarship at Oregon.

Interesting bit from when Irving entered the portal from Mike Farrell Sports Where will Irving land? Irving will likely be a popular name in the portal due to his impressive production as a freshman. Illinois will have to take a look at Irving as that’s his home state and he is dynamic at catching the ball out of the backfield and would add a playmaker to the offense.

Next fall the running back room will certainly be young, four sophomores (one redshirt) and a true freshman. Didn't Richard Young #1 RB prospect visit this weekend?

Under the revised NFL guidelines, a college can request evaluations for only five players, with exceptions determined on a case-by-case basis; previously, there was no limit on the number of players from one team who could be reviewed.

Undergrad players can request an evaluation of draft potential from the NFL prior to entering the draft. From the NFL operations site... To help both the clubs, who want NFL-ready players in the Draft, and the student-athletes, who are looking to enter the Draft early, the NFL relies on its College Advisory Committee. The Committee, which includes high-level personnel evaluators from NFL clubs and directors from the league’s two sanctioned scouting organizations (National Football Scouting and BLESTO), advises underclassmen on their draft prospects before they make a formal request to the league to join the Draft. The College Advisory Committee’s process for determining whether underclassmen are ready for the NFL changed in 2014. Under the revised NFL guidelines, a college can request evaluations for only five players, with exceptions determined on a case-by-case basis; previously, there was no limit on the number of players from one team who could be reviewed.

I know the rules don't apply to USC but isn't the fall eligibility deadline tomorrow?

Didn't know that, thanks. Wonder if the information from the trial played a part.

Can he be charged with perjury? “I’m here because for the first time in my life my character has been attacked,” Taggart said. “I’m here because I’ve never been attacked in my life. Everyone that knows me knows that I’m a good person. I don’t intend to hurt anyone. That’s something that I’m prideful for and it’s something that I’m going to fight for for the rest of my life because that’s my intent, is to help these young men reach their dreams, goals and aspirations. The first time in my career, in my life, I’ve been accused of hurting our players and punishing our players and I can’t allow that to happen because that’s not me.” The lawsuit against Willie Taggart, his former strength coach and the NCAA is getting real - Footballscoop FOOTBALLSCOOP.COM If found negligent, a ruling against the defendants could result in yet another watershed moment against the college sports establishment amid a time when watershed moments seemingly...

FootballScoop provides some details regarding the Miami NIL program. They put the University of Miami in a catagory all their own, worse than the Texas schools. Mario's buddy John Ruiz is backing a $10 million player payroll, another booster, Dan Lambert plans a half million dollar payroll for football. I think our former coach will end up with a very tarnished reputation. We have our first contract holdout of the NIL era - Footballscoop FOOTBALLSCOOP.COM A Miami booster has -- quite publicly -- funded the school's NIL efforts. Now one of their top basketball players wants his own deal or he's leaving. From last summer Miami booster offers NIL deal worth $6,000 apiece to entire Canes roster - Footballscoop FOOTBALLSCOOP.COM The offer is the first from a startup organization aimed at recruiting businesses to do deals with Hurricane athletes.

Certainly looks like he has some type of promo deal.
