The economic downside of Wisconsin continuing to have a bad football team cannot be ignored.
Wisconsin should be able to have it all. Great academics, outstanding athletics and home to one of the best college towns in America. However, when one of those areas gets out of whack, the entire system falls apart. That is clearly the case with the state of the Wisconsin football program. It has been on a downward slide for several years now, almost to the point where it has gotten unbearable.
