After nearly two years of NCAA investigation, the NCAA announced its findings about the missteps of the Oregon football program. If you hate yourself and love reading legal documents, you can read the whole thing here. If you would just like a quick summary, here goes.

What did those big bad Ducks do?

• Subscribed to a recruiting service (AKA Willie Lyles) which suggested specific athletes to recruit, let the school know what some players' interest level was in the school, suggesting which high school programs to visit, and made phone calls to specific prospects.
• The service also paid for lodging and training (approximately $300 worth) of a prospect (Prospect A in the documents), as well as cash gifts approximating $100. Then the prospect received some apparel only available to current Oregon student-athletes. The assistant director of operations at the time, Josh Gibson, saw a YouTube video with the prospect wearing the apparel, and neither said nor did anything about it.
• I just like this story: Lyles met with a prospect at a Houston gas station and gave him an SAT registration packet so he could take it.
• By doing all this, the service became a "representative of the institution's athletic interests," which isn't allowed.
• Said recruiting service did not report to Oregon 4 times a year, as was required.
• "From 2007 to 2011, three noncoaching staff members placed approximately 730 recruiting-related phone calls." They claimed to think the calls were "administrative," but, alas, they were wrong.
• The above violation caused the Ducks to go over the limit of coaches allowed for a year.
• Chip Kelly and the institution "failed to monitor the program."
• The program subscribed to two more recruiting services, neither of which followed all the rules.
