in the Oregonian on this "NCAA should have slapped University of Oregon with a nap. It's trying too hard to win".

It looks like Graves "was too candid to lie or plead plausible deniability -- admitted he should have done better." It seems on the same plane as the men's bball and football program offenses. The track & field offense was the only academic issue: "When the university discovered the grade change, the instructor, who was not familiar with NCAA rules, told the university he would have made the same accommodation for any other student, regardless of student-athlete status," the NCAA release said.

I like Graves and I think he knows it's going to take a lot of effort for Oregon to get to the top over, ND, UConn, Baylor, Maryland, and SEC schools who have won all the NCAA women's championships this century. The Pac 12 this year is a very competitive conference. but hasn't won a championship since 1992.

Attached is the Oregonian's article.



Don't get the excuses for Graves - he knowingly broke rules *

He knew what he was doing, and did it anyway. Stop the excuses.
Agreed

The fact that this ended up at the NCAA is what points out there is something there as usually they do nothing.
