Wisconsin coach Luke Fickell will return to coach the Badgers in 2026

These $20 million dollar rosters...we need some context....the Gophers have a $20 million dollar roster with the Big ten school money plus NIL money.
If one guy is pitching in $25 or $28 million....those guys are at $50 million.total with the school money and Jimmy and Joes NIL.

They are willing to take another bad season as they don’t have the buyout funds. Hard to flip the script with $$$ alone.

A rich guy can't just go out and "legally" buy a roster, anymore.

All the NIL deals are being screened by a clearinghouse, to make sure they're actual, real deals, where the athletes have to actually do stuff and can only get paid a market rate for their time.

You are not wrong but we still have to see if there is any real enforcement going on of the bogus deals. Easier said then done.

In 2021 Fickell’s Bearcats lost to Alabama in the 4 team national championship play-offs.
LF is not a bad coach. Wisky has no guarantee they would hire a better coach in 2026 any way…

McIntosh will need to go first.
New guy/gal installed
Blank check to Leonhard?
