NCAA Scandals

            This spring there has been a lot of controversy and scandals brought up in college football. Duck fans are experiencing a very nerve racking time with NCAA looking in on the payment and mentor status of Willie Lyles.
            Other football programs are experiencing similar scandals. Ohio State is going through a scandal for their coach, Jim Tressell, lying about infractions that were committed by their team. SEC is always going through these scandals as well. Four former Auburn players admitted on HBO "Real Sports" that they were being paid by boosters, and how on visits to Ohio State they were offered sexual favors. This is not a surprise to a lot of people. There is a reason why the SEC is so dominant, schools will do anything to have a winning football team. The Lyles scandal that the University of Oregon is going through right now would be a minor violation in the eyes of the SEC, but to many Oregon fans, this is a big violation.
           I have heard a lot of people say that "what Oregon is doing is fine because everyone else is doing it"... that doesn't make it alright. I have higher expectations for Oregon and I hope they clean it up and get the job done in the correct way. No more playing in the mud, we learned our lesson. Let's be better than the SEC. Go Ducks!
