According to ESPN.com, the Pac-10 has placed University of Washington on a year-long probation after charging Washington with gambling violations and improper recruitment.
The violations surfaced after the dismissal of former football coach Rick Neuheisel.
In addition to the probation, the conference has ordered Washington to do an in-depth review of its athletic program, which it had already begun on its own.

The university was also charged with taking football recruits on improper boat rides.
