ESPN Radio; A top 10 program is going down on violations...

On his ESPN radio program Tuesday, Colin Cowherd said that a top-10 program will be in the news for all of the wrong reasons in the near future.

ESPN Radio's Colin Cowherd.
Here's Cowherd from the show:

I received an interesting text about 10 days ago, and this should be very frightening if you’re a fan of college football, that a major program in this country is going to be outed very soon for major recruiting violations. It is a top 10-12 program. I know what I think it is according to both my sources; I received another tip last night. I went to Vince Doria, who is sort of the journalistic editor at this company He had heard the exact same thing. We are pursuing this story with vigor. A major publication is about to unseat a major college football power on recruiting violations. I will tell you from my source, it is not — it is not — Auburn. I will leave it at that. It is a major program and a major publication. When we can validate more… I have not been able to validate it nor has this company. We’re both pursuing it.


Wonder who it is? There is a lot of chatter that it is Oregon.... Will have to wait and see.

 

Rumor has it is a Midwestern team. Tennessee has been mentioned on internet forums. I have no reliable sources.

 

Tenn already made the news for violations with a Kiffin and company recently. Has to be a different program I would think.

 

Alabama.

 

Top ten program, not MI we suck

 

The schools being mentioned most are Oregon and Texas....

I can't say I have a feeling for who it is yet. One report says it is a school that is close to USC.

That could mean close by distance or close by association.

 

There are many dirty dirty programs out there. I hope all the dirty programs get blasted.

 

So your sources don't claim a Midwestern team? Interesting.

 

Your post was the first I read mentioning a midwest team.

Other than tOSU none of the Midwest teams are an annual top 10 team.

So I am hoping it isn't a midwest team!!!!

 

here we go.......

 

My non reliable source. I suggest you read all three pages. I also am not limiting midwest to just the big-ten.

FTR, I don't think it's OSU. Tressel has his stuff together. It's all hearsay at this point.

 

hmm first I heard of it, I'm not worried about TAMU lol

 

Glad it's not Notre Dame

 

Kinda wish it was, it would at least show me they are taking some initiative.

 

when in Rome.............

 

Haha...I was thinking the same thing. Oh, top ten...scheeewwww.

 

Most forums are saying Oregon, but I think that because most people think that Phil Knight is probably giving the Oregon players a little something more than just uniforms.

 

Did he say AP top 10 at this point in time or a percieved top 10 program? Big difference!

 

Is Oregon really a top 10 program? I say no. Unless you only take into account this last year.

 

Oregon has been in the top 10 for a few years now, so yes
