3/1/2010: The football team apparently made it through the weekend arrest free. The cheerleading squad, on the other hand, reports a DUI. Can’t blame this one on the coach, UO still hasn”t replaced the previous cheerleading coaches Laraine Raish and Corine Lewis, who were suddenly and mysteriously fired last summer.
Over the weekend KVAL reported that the NCAA has given LaMichael James permission to live with the UO sports nutritionist while he looks for other housing:
KVAL News received the statement below from the NCAA in response to recent challenges faced by the University of Oregon athletics department related to NCAA regulations and star running back LaMichael James. The UO had sought a waiver on a possible violation of rules in the wake of charges brought against James. James was released from jail on house arrest and living with an athletic department employee, in violation of NCAA rules.
The statement in its entirety read:
“Due to some of the challenges the institution faces in this situation, a temporary waiver has been provided to the school to assist staff in working through the situation and avoid potential NCAA extra benefits rules violations. The waiver is in effect as long as the institution can show it is working to find the student-athlete permissible housing and demonstrate active involvement with the court.”
