Allegations against UO revealed

College football: The NCAA is alleging Oregon violated the organization’s regulations in the way it used recruiting services over the past four years.
The accusations were contained in two documents, labeled “Proposed Findings of Violations,” obtained Friday in a public records request by several media outlets. While the documents use language that indicates the NCAA and the university agree to certain points, an athletic department spokesman says Oregon does not acknowledge any violations.
The NCAA has been looking into Oregon’s recruiting practices since questions arose over a 2010 payment of $25,000 to Willie Lyles and his Houston-based recruiting service.
Oregon has not received a formal notice of allegations.
