He talked at length about the problem before Wisconsin and Luke Fickell, with a very definite prediction about how it all shakes out. “I’m worried about this one...Wisconsin doesn’t have that money.

Meyer was clear that the changing of the Big Ten has changed the Wisconsin job and made it a harder place to win.
