Is it too much to expect the University of Wisconsin Athletic Department go through a year without someone breaking an NCAA rule?
“That would be nice,” said Steve Waterfield, the UW assistant athletic director for compliance. “Is it realistic based upon my experience in compliance? No. Do I think that if we do have (violations) it’s not been a perfect year? I wouldn’t necessarily say that.”It’s just that given the complexity and ever-changing NCAA rules – think of how many student-athletes and sports and how large a program (UW has) – it’s just unrealistic to think we could go through an entire year without any secondary violations.”
