Oh, and I'm not even touching the academics. Our standards are much higher than the sec and other big ten schools. Fact.
You need to clarify this a bit more. I'll just repeat what I have said more than once:
Wisconsin and Illinois are the two schools in the B1G that cannot admit a player that simply meets NCAA requirements. Does that make Wisconsin a better school, in general, than places like Michigan and Ohio State? No. Those arguments are a mixture of objectivity and subjectivity that can be debated for days. What it does mean is that coaches like GA have shown in the past that they are not afraid to go after players with questionable academic backgrounds and it has bit him the arse several times since being coach at Wisconsin.
I am not going to say that this puts Wisconsin at a disadvantage, because it sounds like a built-in excuse, but it certainly constrains what some coaches would like to do.
Adam Rittenberg was on SportsCenter yesterday and echoed this same thing. He said he spoke to Andersen infrequently over the past few months and said that Andersen expressed this frustration regarding admission requirements at the university.
