The University of Oregon reached out to the Pac-10 last month, seeking help regarding the eligibility of "former members" of the men's basketball program in the past two seasons.Oregon released a statement Tuesday night, saying that the university contacted the conference back on Aug. 2 seeking clarification related to information obtained about unnamed student-athletes. The Pac-10 forwarded the information on to the NCAA for clarification.
The Eugene Register-Guard is reporting that the Oregon statement came after a query from the newspaper regarding center Michael Dunigan (pictured right). It has been reported by the Register-Guard that Dunigan signed a contract with a professional team in Israel, ending his college career with two years of eligibility remaining because his eligibility was in question.
The Register-Guard said there is no indication there is an eligibility issue with the nine current scholarship players on the roster. Dunigan reportedly is the subject of allegations that he received extra benefits, in violation of NCAA rules. Dunigan attended classes at Oregon in the summer.
