EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Oregon says it has been contacted by the NCAA to provide documentation about its use of a pair of recruiting services.

The Ducks also said in a statement Friday that school officials had contacted the Pac-10 Conference about payments to two agencies that purportedly provided information about potential football recruits.

Athletic Director Rob Mullens says the school believes its use of such services is allowed under NCAA rules.

Yahoo! Sports and ESPN reported Thursday that Oregon paid $28,000 to two men who ran recruiting services that typically provide biographical information and video about high school players. If either man guided a recruit to Oregon, it would violate NCAA rules.
