((HT: Campus Insiders))
There's a certain sense of obvious irony here with the act in the headline and the benefactor of the program, but the HQ digresses for the moment...
But our friends over at Campus Insiders have details on the University of Oregon dropping the hammer on three former players who sold team shoes along with current players Dominic Artis and Ben Carter. Artis and Carter have been suspended until further notice...
Here's their breaker on the subject...
Fred Richardson, Willie Moore and Carlos Emory are the ex-Ducks who were busted. Richardson and Emory transferred after their freshman seasons back in the spring, and Emory used up his eligibility after last season was completed.
And, then came the news releases...
"Ben and Dominic are two good young men who made a poor decision that was against NCAA rules I feel that both regret their decisions and the impact that it has on their teammates and our university," UO coach Dana Altman said.
In the same news release, Artis said: “I want to apologize to the University, to Coach Altman and to my teammates for selling team apparel. I regret my actions and do not want this situation to define me or my character.”
Oregon is set to start their season overseas in the made-for-TV event at Camp Humphreys in South Korea Friday.
