It's been known for weeks now, since Wisconsin athletic director Chris McIntosh sent out a memo from his office supporting Luke Fickell, but ESPN has confirmed it today. Wisconsin will run Luke Fickell back out there for another season, even after the disaster that this football year has brought to the university. Pete Thamel is reporting that McIntosh has decided the problem is a lack of investment in the roster, not in Fickell's coaching.
Wisconsin fans are going to hate this because it's a classic example of a sunk-cost fallacy. This is an economic term that means instead of pulling the rip cord on a project or program that isn't working, the organization will throw more money at it.
