UW football: Ball set to return to UW, more coaches to leave

Running back Montee Ball, who appeared ready to jump to the NFL after a prolific junior season, is returning to the University of Wisconsin. A UW source said Ball has told people in the football program he is returning for his senior year. Ball was expected to announce his decision on Wednesday, with another source indicating a news conference was being set up. It never happened, either because Ball wanted to make sure of his decision, or because news broke about two coaching departures, following a chaotic day at the UW football offices.
