I know where you are coming from. I mean, yeah, you had a player that was in your program defect from the team and go to another school in the same conference, but he went back to his home state, so I wouldn't read too much into that.
And, sure, your coach may have looked a bit like a whiney school girl about the whole thing, but can you really blame him? I mean, if I were BO I'd be kind of ****** at a player that left the program for an in-conference rival, not because its another crack in the wall or shows that kids want to play up-tempo ball or what-have-you, but because of loyalty, you know?
And, sure, the league's officiating is going to change to follow the paths of Indiana's and Michigan's athletic teams and will start calling the handchecking and bodying that get called in other conferences, but that won't really affect Wisconsin, right?
They will still be just fine. Like I said, I don't think Wisconsin will collapse or anything.
