Big Sky announces suspension of EWU Player
OGDEN, Utah (Sept. 23, 2008) - In accordance with NCAA and Big Sky Conference rules, the Big Sky Conference has suspended Eastern Washington football player Charlie Wulff, league Commissioner Doug Fullerton announced Tuesday.
Wulff will serve his suspension during the first half of Eastern Washington’s conference game on Sept. 27 against Idaho State .
Wulff, a 6-foot, 270-pound senior center from Woodland , Calif. , was ejected during the fourth quarter of Eastern Washington’s 52-31 victory over Western Washington on Sept. 20. Wulff was disqualified for fighting, as he threw a punch at a Western Washington player.
NCAA rules require a player ejected for fighting in the second half of a game to be suspended for the first half of the next scheduled contest.
The 2008 NCAA rule book defines fighting as “any attempt by a player, coach, or squad member in uniform to strike an opponent in a combative manner unrelated to football. Such acts include, but are not limited to: an attempt to strike an opponent with arm (s), hand (s), leg (s), or foot (feet), whether or not there is contact.’’
NCAA rules state that if a player is disqualified for fighting a second time during the season, he shall be disqualified for that game and suspended for the remainder of the season.Official Big Sky Conf release
