Wisconsin Football faces recruiting violations

1993 great season.
They didn’t beat either of the other two teams In the top 3 of the conference.
0-0-1 against those two
1998 great season
They didn’t beat either of the other two teams in the top 3 of the conference
0-1-0 against those two
1999 great season
They did beat a team in the top 3 that year
1-1-0 against the other two in the top 3
1999 is the most legitimate title of the Alvarez era

2006 again a great season. Again 0-1-0 against the other top 3 teams

2010 again a great season. 1-1 against other two in top 3
Clearly the best post Alvarez season
Lost to Michigan state or could’ve been in national title game.


Wisconsin was clearly a top 4 team in the big ten from 1993-2010

From 2011 to the present I’m not sure what they are. But they’re clearly closer to 5 than 1

Only two seasons with conference record below .500. I think 74 conference wins.

Yeah. A good program that over the long term is closer to the 5th best program in the conference than 1

For a while they were probably closer to 1 than 5

I remember when we were assured Fickell was entering the Big Ten as one of the top 3-4 coaches already from day 1 and was going to mop the floor with Fleck and Ferentz and get wisconsin to the playoffs.

I remember some posters on here saying how dumb we were for not moving on from Fleck like Wisconsin did with Chryst.

I think one of the biggest mistakes both pro GMs and college ADs make is having too little patience for a coach who has been pretty good but not great. Possibly because I think fanbases have the same blind spot. They fire a pretty successful coach, the team moves into train wreck mode, and then fans contort themselves into being excited about signs the new guy is trending towards the level of success that somehow got his predecessor fired.
