08:15 AM ET 07.06 | By most accounts, Chip Kelly is not shy around the media. These days, however, Kelly is facing serious questions about his character as the Ducks are being investigated by the NCAA. And his silence while the football program faces its greatest scrutiny and adversity speaks volumes. ... If rules were broken and [Willie Lyles'] story is legit -- keep in mind that Lyles met with the NCAA in March but withheld many of the details he would reveal to Yahoo! -- then Kelly can't continue to keep a job that demands accountability at all times. While Lyles said he didn't directly influence prospects' decisions, his story clearly paints a much different picture. Directly or indirectly, Class of 2010 running back Lache Seastrunk came to Eugene instead of Auburn because of his association with Lyles.

Lache also got a pair of MJs that wasnt even on the market....

pretty sad to think that a kid would be bribed by a pair of shoes. If that's what it takes, then I don't see why we should really give a damn. That's just my take.

QUOTE(#13):

Kid wasn't bribed... His handler was... True story, his Mom wanted him at LUS.... Grandma signed the LOI

And they moved him from Texas to Arkansas to avoid a standardized test nobody though he could pass.....says a lot a/b my sate, I know, but come-on, man.

Handler changed his HS, changed his guardian, and changed his mind from LUS to Oregon......handler gets paid $25k, head coach is aware and aknowledges it.

HOW is this less damning than the pOSU mess? What's the difference in paying players and paying handlers? I don't get it.........

I think James was the one who went to Arky about the test scores...And there is no difference between pOSU and the Quacks... RUMOR has it all started w/ Lyles and Aubie then the Quacks...In the beginning I think his top 3 was LUS UTX and SCw

I thought the same kid changed his guardian to get grandma to sign LOI and moved to avoid the test.....may be wrong, tho.

Regardless, still surprised the same talking heads at ESPNsux and SI that called for the vest's head haven't started the rhetoric a/b Kelly yet

They have not built up Kelly like they did Tressel. Build them up just to rip them down.
