Oregon athletic director Rob Mullens has sent an email to key supporters, saying the school is still reviewing “the use of outside recruiting services.”
The email Friday comes ahead of the Pac-12 media day in Los Angeles on Tuesday, when football coach Chip Kelly likely will have to answer questions for the first time about the Ducks’ $25,000 payment to a recruiting agency.
The NCAA is investigating the services provided by so-called street agent Willie Lyles of Complete Scouting Services in Houston. At issue is whether Lyles helped steer a highly recruited player to Oregon.
Mullens sent the email to trustees of the University of Oregon Foundation, members of the UO alumni association board and key donors.
The Register-Guard first reported Mullens’ email after obtaining a copy.
