As tempting as it might be, University of Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez doesn?t view the ongoing ethical storm atop the Big Ten Conference summit as a good thing. Allegations of major rules violations at Ohio State led to the resignation of football coach Jim Tressel earlier this week. The NCAA is investigating the flagship school of the league a year after another premier program, Michigan, was placed on NCAA probation for the first time in school history. “You never want to see that, particularly with one of your brand schools,” Alvarez said Wednesday. “I don?t feel good about it for our league.”
