Prosecutors list Oregon among schools to come up at corruption trial

Federal prosecutors in the basketball corruption trial that began Monday in New York reportedly told prospective jurors that 12 colleges could come up during the proceedings -- the University of Oregon among them.

As first reported by Yahoo Sports, prosecutors wanted to disqualify any potential juror whose allegiance to a school might make them less than impartial. An Oregon-based Adidas executive and two others are accused of paying talented prep players to steer them to certain universities.

Four of the schools mentioned -- Louisville, Miami, Kansas and North Carolina State -- have already been implicated in the case.
