With the recent announcement by Badger running back Montee Ball that he has decided to remain at UW-Madison and finish out his senior year, rather than enter the NFL draft, we have nothing but respect for this outstanding young man. When Ball and others accepted scholarships to attend UW and play football, they took on serious obligations, which Ball has seen fit to honor and complete. He is indeed a role model for athletes who will attend the UW now and in the future.
