    Tosh deserves to have his career ended. So does Sark. 2" of thunder coming down.

    The difference is that Oregon was never accused of handing a recruit a few grand in a paper bag. I don't care if it was for tutoring or to give to the recruit's favorite charity - it was a direct cash payment to a recruit - which is easy to prove. I'm pissed because Tosh is such a dumbass, and this could really fuck the program over.

    The whole Willie Lyles thing was about cash to a recruit, just using a middle man. I'm not going to argue that Oregon isn't better at cheating than this appears to be, but Chip was always way better than Sark.

    What about Miami?

    Chip didn't get that show cause because he was innocent. We already got rid of Sark.

    UW won't get any meaningful penalties. Tosh is fucked. Sark has a good shot at being fucked.

    Race - that's the thing. Oregon's lawyers basically made it impossible for the NCAA to prove that any money ever changed hands between Oregon -> Lyles -> recruits. The calculus here is much simpler. If Tosh flips and says that Sark or UW AD gave him the cash, UW could be proper fucked. It's a good thing that all of these guys are no longer on the payroll, but that hasn't necessarily stopped the NCAA in the past.

    We need to hire Oregon's lawyers.

    This. The NCAA had issues showing the paper trail to a LaRelative of James. Lyles was never willing to cooperate when push came to shove with NCAA.

    This Davis guy seems pretty intent on taking down Tosh and or the Football program. He was probably promised more than what is getting reported. LIPO but this seems easier to prove than what happened at Oregon if nothing else because the participant is willing to provide the paper trail for said services.

    I highly doubt the UW AD gave Tosh the money and the green light to do this. Tosh was probably feeling pressure and did something desperate. he makes 500K a year he could probably afford it. Still puzzling though, I mean Andrew fucking Basham? Really?
