By the way BF. I see U of Washington is cancelling a home and home with BYU so they can schedule EWU and Portland State.
UW is one of 3 FBS teams that have NEVER played FCS teams... the others are USC & Notre Dame..
in other words... it aint gonna happen, but it would be cool.
October 6, 2009 in Sports EWU to play UW in football
Game will be played in 2011
SEATTLE — Washington is finally joining the majority of college football and scheduling a lower-division team.
The Huskies announced Tuesday they are canceling a future home-and-home football series with BYU and added Eastern Washington, a Football Championship Subdivision team, to their schedule in 2011. It will be the first time in school history the Huskies will play a team from the FCS.
Never playing a lower-level team has been a traditional source of pride for Washington and is included in its weekly football notes. But the streak is finally being broken.

I wouldn't put much faith in the "passive approval" aspect, It appears to be more in the "wishful thinking" category. The NCAA imposed the ban and nothing says they have to repeatedly cite the ban for it to be in effect. It's been said all along that nothing would happen with the appeal until at least half way thru the season and I don't in any way see the NCAA basing their decision on EWU's W/L record at the time.
Looks like we got a Negative Nancy! You're just praying the committee doesn't lift the ban because that might jew MSU out of the playoffs!
All of this will be a completely moot point if we don't take care of business against WSU, UM, and MSU et. al.

Specifically, UW announced today that it will host Eastern Washington on Sept. 3, 2011, the first time the Huskies will ever play a lower-division school (they've played schools in their past that are lower-division schools now but those came at a time that there weren't clear designations like there are today). UPDATE --- Here's a Wikipedia history of the divisions. Most relevant is the declaration of Division I and I-AA came in 1978.
UW also announced it will face Hawaii on Dec. 7, 2013, in Honolulu and Sept. 19, 2015, at Husky Stadium.
And UW also announced it will travel to Madison, Wis. on Sept. 2, 2017 and then host Wisconsin on Sept. 1, 2018.
It is also expected that UW will announce soon that it will also host Portland State in 2012. The games against EWU and Portland State replace a home-and-home series with BYU that is being canceled. UW will play at BYU to open next season but otherwise is done with the Provo-based Cougars for a while.
