EWU is out
NAU may be out

Looks like the Hornets have a much better shot at making the playoffs in '09.
 
Wow......now you have to wonder about the integrity of those successful teams they had. No wonder Wulff bolted as fast as he could to Wazzu and, they get penalized in the process. You have to wonder if there isn't some sort of recourse against Wulff there.
 
The penalties are as follows:

*Public reprimand and censure.

*Three years probation (Feb. 11, 2009 to Feb. 10, 2012).

*Reduction of two scholarships awarded in football from 63 to 61 for the next three years (self-imposed by the university).

*Reduction of the number of full-time coaches by one from 11 to 10 for three years (self-imposed by the university).

*Limitation of the number of incoming freshman who are non-qualifiers to no more than three per year for all three years of probation. The university previously averaged seven incoming freshman non-qualifiers per year over a four year period.

*Prohibition of the recruitment of non-qualifiers from two-year institutions for three years (self-imposed by the university).

*Prohibition of incoming student athletes who have not been certified by the NCAA Eligibility Center from attending EWU preseason football camp for a period of two years (self-imposed by the university).

*The EWU football team is not eligible for postseason competition in 2009.

*Wulff shall attend, at his own cost, an NCAA Regional Rules Seminar during each of the three years of probation.

*Wulff will not be allowed to have any contact with WSU's team during the first three days of practice prior to the 2009 season.

Wow a whopping two scholarships over the next three years. Unless the NCAA imposes more harsh restrictions, I would call this a slap on the wrist. And besides, I bet these actions are a regular occurrence at the BCS schools.
