Well, I guess this means we can cross Wisconsin off the list of the 20 schools under investigation for academic fraud. It turns out Gary Andersen didn't hate working with Barry Alvarez.
From Dennis Dodd of CBSSports.com:
A part of his surprising departure from Wisconsin had to do with admission standards.
"It's been well [documented] there were some kids I couldn't get in school," the Badgers' former coach said. "That was highly frustrating to me. I lost some guys, and I told them I wasn't going to lose them.
"I think they did what they were supposed to do [academically] and they still couldn't get in. That was really hard to deal with."
Here's a video of Andersen lauding the importance of education — "having a degree is not enough" — during his introductory presser at Oregon State.
Makes you think, for sure.
