What a load of crap. The NCAA is making UO waste time and money on this trivia while their leaders and coaches pocket hundred of millions of dollars from the sweat and concussions of their unpaid student-athletes. The NCAA won’t even penalize UNC for years of sham courses for athletes,…

10/9/2017 update:
In what may be it’s fastest turnaround time since I asked Dave Hubin for a copy of Jim Bean’s sabbatical contract, UO’s Public Records Office says today that “there are no responsive records” to the LA Times request for federal subpoenas or search warrants involving Altman or his coaches. For comparison, here are the last 3 or so months of the public records log.
Still no Tim Gleason rhabdo docs for HBO, no new Bach docs, etc:
10/30/2018 update: I’ve always had a soft spot for Kelly, because he had the sense of humor to hide his $25K payoff to Willie Lyles where no reasonable person would ever have found it – in the UO libraries financial accounts: Unfortunately for Kelly, sports reporters are not reasonable people.…
That would be Auburn University. Documents here, story here. Here at Oregon, reporters requested the Duck infractions data on June 18 (here) and June 27 (here). UO’s public record’s office still has not released anything, despite this 1981 opinion from the Oregon DOJ making clear these reports are public records. I wonder…
11/14/2013: An excellent piece of investigative journalism from UNC, here. Their university’s administrators were remarkably forthcoming about the costs of the outside investigations, and how much was paid by the athletics department and how much by the UNC Foundation. It took me years, and hundreds of dollars in public records…
10/17/2013: Victor Flores has the story in the ODE. $1500 for a party? I’m guessing the food and drink bill for the average meeting of Jim O’Fallon’s NCAA Committee on Infractions is quite a bit more than $1500 – money they get from not paying their athletes.
8/6/2013: This is unacceptable! But don’t worry, former UO law professor Jim O’Fallon and his NCAA Committee on Infractions are on the case. In the past they’ve made unpaid student-athletes repay these sorts of ill-gotten gains. Still no word on how much Rob Mullens and President Gottfredson made Chip Kelly pay…
7/19/2013: Mark Johnson of the RG sports desk gets another dump of Kelly/Lyles docs from UO – 3 months after he made the public records request. UO NCAA Rep and former law professor Jim O’Fallon used to argue that these sorts of records were top secret, despite the DOJ ruling below,…
6/26/2013 update. The public NCAA report is here. Hilariously pompous. Public Censure and Reprimand. Presumably much more will be released eventually, thanks to this public records opinion from Dave Frohnmayer’s DOJ. The NYT has this quote from Kelly: Kelly, in a statement issued through the Eagles, apologized to the university and its fans.…
5/30/2013: Big-time college sports really helps the cause of higher education, doesn’t it? Story here.
5/23/2013: UO is on the verge of being kicked out of the AAU. Meanwhile, the self important pissant jock-sniffers on the NCAA Infractions Committee don’t think the UO President has anything important to do with his time. So they “invite” him to come to their meeting in Indianapolis and explain…
Gary Gray has held the job for years. They’ve just posted an ad for a replacement. Meanwhile, still no news on the Kelly/Lyles penalties, or who will pay them. 5/6/2013.
From Nigel Jaquiss in Willamette Week, On HB 3524, introduced in the Oregon House today by Democrat Brent Barton: Provides that a coach at public university who intentionally or recklessly commits or causes to be committed major violation of rules of National Collegiate Athletic Association is liable for university’s actual…
4/24/2013: Secret meeting update: SI is reporting UO held a meeting with the NCAA infractions committee last week to negotiate penalties. The charge of the UO Senate’s IAC says the IAC shall be consulted by the 3. The faculty athletics representative about all ongoing investigations and major violations. And the Frohnmayer…
3/8/2013: Back in 2009 the NCAA Committee on Infractions, which includes UO’s Faculty Athletics representative and former Knight law professor Jim O’Fallon, ruled that UConn had paid impermissible benefits to a basketball player, Nate Miles: NCAA enforcer Jim O’Fallon NCAA player Nate Miles INDIANAPOLIS — The NCAA Division I Committee…
