Disappointment would be an understatement. Ever hear of the "Kiss of Death"? Yeah, the NCAA just kissed Eastern Washington University.
The Eastern Washington University football program has been put on three years probation and is banned from postseason due to what the NCAA calls “major violations.”
The NCAA Division I Committee on Infractions released the report on Wednesday.
The violations include impermissible participation by ineligible student-athletes in practice activities, the use of too many countable coaches, failure to monitor by former head coach Paul Wulff, now the head coach at Washington State, and a lack of institutional control and failure to monitor by the university.
Additional penalties include financial aid reductions, coaching limitations and recruiting restrictions.
According the NCAA, during the 2003-04 through the 2006-07 academic years, 13 football student-athletes were allowed to participate in practice activities even though they were non-qualifiers, they did not have their eligibility certified by the university or the NCAA, or did not meet transfer requirements.
.....
I'm gonna go crawl under a rock now. See you when baseball starts up again.
this is so fucked up. Think of the seniors who won't get one last try at a championship because of Wulff. I know a lot of players and they are ready to march on pullman with pitchforks and torches.
ReplyDeleteThank you Paul Wulff for bring the EWU program to the best it had been. Oh, and thank you also for crushing it down to nothing. Do you have any idea how hard recruiting will be now at the school? No one will go there. Instead all the recruits they could have gotten will go to schools like (gag) Montana. So now the Eagles will have to start over from ground zero. Oh, and the Cougars stink.
