Reports that the NCAA was preparing to hand down penalties to Oregon football were premature, it appears.
Though the College Football Internet that loves itself a good NCAA penalty beatdown to opine about started rumbling this week with the rumor that the Oregon Ducks football team was going to be hit with official penalties this week stemming from their recruiting scandal, it appears they were, again, premature.
Talked to someone in the Oregon football program and they said Oregon has not been informed of any NCAA penalties yet.

My guess: Oregon has received the Notice of Allegations, it is bad, and people are guessing penalties from that.

You know how every month or so for the last five years, some Arrested Development cast member would say something about getting the show going again, and the Internet would light up?
