The hidden price of NCAA sanctions is beginning to emerge at Eastern Washington University.

Eastern’s football program was put on three years’ probation and hit with a one-year ban from postseason play on Wednesday as part of penalties for repeated violations of NCAA rules from 2003-07. In addition, former head coach Paul Wulff was prohibited from having any contact with his current team at Washington State during the first three days of preseason drills next August.

Now his successor at EWU, Beau Baldwin, is sweating out not only the penalties but a potential side effect.

NCAA rules allow players in programs that have been hit with a postseason ban to transfer and be immediately eligible to play at another university, providing their years of remaining eligibility do not exceed the duration of the postseason ban. In Eastern’s case, that includes 18 seniors-to-be.

I thought EWU was the bestest school out there.

in my opinion, it is a great school but its div1aa, i think both guys might stay. itll be interesting to see what happens tho.

Very poor practice for UW. I realize they're hurting, but to scalp off a 1AA teams players during ineligibility is slimy. Wondering what ramifications that will have with all the EWU alum living in the Seattle area.
