According to NCAA rule 19.5.2.3.1, a school "shall be considered a 'repeat' violator if the Committee on Infractions finds that a major violation has occurred within five years of the starting date of a major penalty. For this provision to apply, at least one major violation must have occurred within five years after the starting date of the penalties in the previous case."

Per the public infractions report, UO opened its five-year window May 4, 2004.

Skip ahead to Feb. 24, just a couple of weeks ago, when the university released "Proposed Findings of Violations," two drafts of heavily redacted material that contain transgressions alleged to have occurred between 2008-2011, spanning the end of Bellotti's tenure and the beginning of Chip Kelly's as head coach.

I think it's pretty clear that they are "repeat violators". Whether or not the NCAA treats them as such remains to be seen...
