    Colin Cowherd reported that a top program will be getting hit with major violations.

    Most think it will be Oregon, some say that Tenn is the team and I saw one connected Moderator at InsideTexas claim that he has heard that FSU might be the team.

    All supposed to be coming down soon. Which in NCAA time means some time before 2020.

    Similar rumors have been flying around on the Buckeye boards as well....short list of candidates being mentioned - all speculation of course - Auburn, Oregon, Tennessee, FSU ......

    FSU has had an amwazing recruiting turnaround......I wouldn't be surprised.

    But they will be fairly new to the Top Ten this season because it has been a few years.

    Not worried about what Urban may have done....not at all.

    Florida has a very strong NCAA compliance program and Urbs just wasn't that kind of guy.

    :p
    I'll bet it's Oregon. They're now out-recruiting known criminal organizations such as USC, for football talent located within punting distance of the Coliseum. It all came to a head over Crenshaw (The Shaw) High School's De'Anthony Thomas, who is, without question, one of the best high school football players that I have ever seen in SoCal. He was a Trojan commit who never decommitted. He just faxed his LOI to the Ducks on signing day without comment. As I understand Oregon's position on this matter, they believe that they stole him fair and square. This is at odds with the Trojans long-standing policy of buying kids so that they stay bought. They're outraged that the cost of buying championships is going up in the new 12Pac...

    When top ranked Texas kids start showing up in Oregon...well something ain't right. Why would they go all the way to Orgeon to get their weed, we've got plenty right here in Texas. Just ask Ricky Williams! :)

    The mystery surrounding Oregon's new found killer success is why I mentioned FSU.

    Suddenly this year....and I know Urban leaving had a tad bit to do with it......the noles were a stud magnet in recruiting after several years of languishing. I know they used to do it under BB but it just seems as if some light went on this year for FSU......or cash register....ot free shoes..... 8) :lol:

    It should be noted that Ricky Williams is a kid from San Diego, CA who decided to get his weed in Texas...

    Weird stuff happens.
