Now we know why Chip Kelly left for the Eagles

Documents released by the University of Oregon show the school and the NCAA agree "major" violations were committed by the football program, both The Oregonian and Portland, Ore., television station KATU reported Monday.

The documents focus heavily on Will Lyles, who ran a recruiting and scouting service and has been widely reported to be at the center of the investigation, according to the reports. Most of the alleged violations cited occurred during the tenure of former Ducks coach Chip Kelly, who left Oregon in January to become the coach of the Philadelphia Eagles.

Both The Oregonian and KATU received the documents after filing a public records request.

"There were underlying major violations coupled with failure to monitor violations involving the head coach (2009 through 2011) and the athletics department (2008-2011)," NCAA enforcement staff wrote in the report, according to KATU.

What a surprise...

1. Watching the movie "Pony Excess", about SMU . . .

. . . at the end, it had a montage of news items about schools that committed recruiting violations since SMU's "death penalty". Chip Kelly exited almost in the same fashion as Ron Meyer did . . . let someone else deal with this mess. It's a shame that we'll never see the end of this sort of thing.
