Oregon releases documents pertaining to the investigation into possible NCAA recruiting violations by the football program

(Note: A different version of this story appeared earlier today.)

EUGENE _ The University of Oregon released documents Tuesday detailing some aspects of investigations that the NCAA and the school itself are undertaking into possible recruiting violations by the UO football program.

?

?

Among the documents released were:

?

Scouting service reports, cellphone records for Oregon coach Chip Kelly, and an invoice from the law firm Bond, Schoeneck & King, which is conducting Oregon's internal investigation, for work done in September. Both Kelly's cell records and the invoice were heavily redacted. The firm charged Oregon $5,758.26 for September, according to the invoice.

?

Correspondence from attorney Michael Glazier, a partner in Bond, Schoeneck & King, indicating that he expected the firm to conclude its internal investigation by November of this year at the latest, and correspondence relating to NCAA interviews with Lyles and others.

?

Email exchanges between Glazier, Ron Barker, Pac-12 associate commissioner for governance and enforcement; Steve Duffin, NCAA associate director of enforcement; Angie Cretors, NCAA associate director of agents, gambling and amateurism activities; Bill Clever, UO executive assistant athletic director for compliance, and James O'Fallon, UO law professor emeritus and the athletic department's faculty rep.

?

The emails discussed logistics of interviews with Kelly, and Josh Gibson and Jim Fisher, both assistant directors for football operations. The interviews apparently were conducted in August by videoconference.

?

A list of 38 secondary violations the university has self-reported since the summer of 2009. The violations broke down this way: administrative (10), football (eight), baseball (five), men's basketball (four), soccer (two), volleyball (two), lacrosse (one), women's tennis (one), track (one), men's golf (one), women's golf (one), women's basketball (one).

?

One violation, committed in the spring of 2011, redacted the sport and the person responsible for the violation. The NCAA codes appearing next to the redacted violation show it relates to a refusal to furnish information relevant to an investigation when requested, and benefits from prospective agents.

?

The records, released in response to public records requests last summer by The Oregonian and other news outlets, indicated the school has received no written notice of inquiry from the NCAA.

?

?

Athletic department spokesman Dave Williford said Tuesday that the school considered the verbal notice of inquiry the same as a written one.

?

Williford said Oregon has not received a notice of allegations from the NCAA. A notice of allegations would be the next step for the NCAA if its investigation concludes that Oregon had broken rules.

?

The documents made public by the university also detailed the amounts that the university paid various scouting services.

?

A key issue in the Lyles case is whether the $25,000 the school paid Lyles for a national scouting package was in line with what it paid other scouting services for similar work. Previously released documents showed that the national package only included information on prospects from a handful of states and much of that information was out of date. The package also included videos.

?

Invoices released to The Oregonian Tuesday showed that at least one other scouting service billed Oregon $25,000. The invoice from Digital Sports Video Inc. of Aliso Viejo, Calif., dated Sept. 2, 2010, charged Oregon $25,000 for a "2010 Player Direct Subscription."
