How do you explain the shrinkage, the dropoff, the decline in numbers? Blame the economy. That was the knee-jerk reaction when the first session of the University of Wisconsin football summer camp drew far fewer participants than anticipated, far fewer than the high school camp (grades 9-12) had attracted the year before. But upon further review, UW coach Bret Bielema believes the earlier dates (June 15-17) affected the turnout. “That’s because the numbers were up for our second camp,” he said.
