Sorry that we're too busy building new athletic facilities across campus, in large part to the revenue we receive every year from the game.
I'd bet you good money a home-and-home with them if our AD didn't have to donate 35 million to the academic side. Thanks, Jindal <3
eta: this is assuming he's being 100% truthful. God knows Wisconsin needs more publicity. You really never hear about them. Telling everyone that a major SEC program is "scared" to come to Madison is a nice recruiting pitch

If I am correct, doesn't about 35 million a year of state tax payer money go to that BILLIONAIRE owner of the New Orleans Saints just to keep them in New Orleans?

Wisconsin does very well for itself with publicity.
Not only is the university second behind Texas in athletic revenue, but it receives a lot of free publicity, whether it be Bucky Badger on a Sportscenter commerical, Barry Alvarez sporting a Wisconsin polo in Entourage, Russell Wilson winning a Super Bowl, JJ Watt winning DPOY, Scott Van Pelt [on multiple occasions] calling Wisconsin the best college town in the country, basketball getting to a Final Four, football featuring one of the more 'fun' traditions that receives a lot of airplay, etc, etc.
Simply, they just don't have the history a lot of other athletic programs have. It isn't about publicity. Football was not relevant until Barry Alvarez came to the program and basketball was very much a backseat sport until Dick Bennett's final year/the introduction of Bo Ryan.
With over 400,000 living alumni and 40K+ students at a world-renowned research university each year, you better believe everyone knows about Wisconsin.

So you're upset athletics is giving money to education? You realize it's a school first right?
