There were plenty of pats on the back two weeks ago when the University of Wisconsin puffed out its chest Bucky Badger-style and proudly proclaimed that its men’s basketball team had compiled a 3.2 grade-point average during the second semester.
In the wake of the mass academic ineligibilities that hit the program in January and wrecked the second half of the season, that was welcome news for all concerned. Athletes, coaches, athletic department administrators, Bascom Hill academic types and UW fans can rest easy knowing the Badgers likely will be playing with a full deck at the start of next season.
