The NCAA later held a teleconference later Wednesday to explain its report from an investigation into the school's use of football recruiting services under Kelly.

The Ducks will also lose one scholarship over each of the next two seasons. Their roster scholarship limit will be at 84 (one under the 85 limit) for 2012-13, 2013-14 and 2014-15 seasons. Oregon also will serve three years of probation from June 26, 2013 through June 25, 2016.
