Academically ineligible - Johnson and Freeman
Academics rule in sports -- Washington running backs Brandon Johnson and David Freeman have been ruled academically ineligible for the upcoming season.
Pac-10 blog
ESPN.com's Ted Miller writes about all things Pac-10 in his conference blog.

The announcement from the school came Tuesday.
Johnson, a junior from Hawthorne, Calif., rushed for 194 yards in nine games last season, making him the team's third-leading rusher. Freeman, a sophomore from Inglewood, Calif., ran for 152 yards in four games with the winless Huskies.
