Quick?  Weren't pretty much all the facts out there a year plus ago?  Oregon has a way of getting penalties delayed.  Somehow Josh Huff's trial got delayed conveniently until after their bowl game.  Phil Knight must be paying their legal bills too.

Remember how long the SC process took? This would be quick. The facts were out in the Charles Robinson story in Yahoo, but that's not the same as the NCAA process. For the NCAA process to work, they have to send the accusation, then interview people, then call a hearing, and then, finally, come to a determination of penalties. As far as we know they haven't even sent the accusation (the notice of allegations referred to above), meaning--assuming Oregon's found guilty--we're talking 2013 or 2014 for any actual penalties. So, yes, quick, shockingly so if penalties are announced this week.

I also can't see any announcement being made this close to the season. As we know from the Penn State situation, the NCAA typically allows players to transfer without penalties. Given the number of practices gone by for most schools, it'd be unfair to those kids to announce such stringent penalties so close to the season.

So, no, can't see the NCAA coming down with penalties right now. Given the sources are message boards and "The Sports Brewery," well, you know.
