Oregon Ducks Being Investigated

The Oregon Ducks are being investigated for a possible recruiting violation. It involves a man from Texas, named Willie Lyles. Apparently Lyles is being investigated for possibly paying some prospects to choose Oregon as opposed to other schools. The Pac-10 is in a “preliminary fact-finding” stage of possible violations related to Oregon’s ties to football recruiting services and payments for services. Not too many details have emerged thus far but it could definitely snowball into something bigger.

ASU-Missouri Will Battle in 'Friday Night Lights'

When Missouri visits Arizona State on September 9th, 2011, it could feature two nationally ranked teams. The game has been moved to Sept. 9 and will be broadcast on ESPN at 10:30 p.m. ET. September 9th is a Friday night, a day earlier than the game's original date.

It will be the first time ever the Sun Devils have played on a Friday night.

The game will give exposure to both programs as they will be the only teams playing that night.

Jim Tressel Suspended Two Games

Although it is not Pac-10 related, I felt it was important enough to address. Ohio State head coach, Jim Tressel, the poster child for stability at a college program as well as usually doing things the "right way" has been suspended 2 games. Tressel did not turn over the names to the university or to the NCAA after he first received an e-mail from Christopher Cicero on April 2, 2010. On Tuesday, Ohio State officials announced that they will suspend Tressel for the first two games this upcoming season and fine him $250,000.
