NCAA Investigating Street Agents Connected With Oregon
Several news outlets are reporting that the NCAA is investigating two street agents, Will Lyles and Baron Flenory, in connection with over $28,000 that the University of Oregon paid the two of them for "recruiting packages." Here's where you can catch up on all the latest details, but Oregon itself is not under investigation just yet.
Why do we care in SEC land?
1. It sheds more light on the NCAA's ongoing fight against agents.
2. Both teams in last year's national title game are now going through recruiting scandals.
3. ESPN's sources are saying that the NCAA is looking into Lyles' relationship with fellow street agent Sean Nelson from Thibodaux, Louisiana. He's a player in the investigations into Auburn's recruiting practices, and he was involved with Oregon RB Lache Seastrunk, who attended Auburn's infamous Big Cat Weekend.

See also the involvement in UAT’s recruiting of Trent Richardson and UAT events such as your 7-7 camp. Auburn backed on its recruiting of Seastrunk over agent involvement.

yep that fits the Auburn m.o.
You never recruit players with any questionable ties to agents…
The NCAA, according to sources, is also examining Lyles’ relationship with Sean Nelson of Thibodeaux, La., whose own relationship with top football prospects has been scrutinized by the NCAA. Last month, NCAA investigators interviewed former Thibodeaux High School coach Dennis Lorio about Auburn’s recruitment of receiver Trovon Reed and offensive lineman Greg Robinson this year. Reed signed with Auburn last year; Robinson signed with the Tigers in February.
Move along, nothing to see here.

I find it funny that a byu basketball player turns himself in before any ncaa infraction committee could find something wrong with byu
byu does the opposite of the other 119 fbs schools. they dish out punishment before they might have had a dream season in basketball this year. that is either sad or funny or both.
The University of Utah is off to the Pac-12 Conference and will be in the South Division. Hopefully we will get to the first ever Pac-12 Championship Game. Jon " Bones " Jones gets his chance for the UFC Light Heavyweight Title when he faces off against Shogun Rua. Jon Jones will win.
