So here is a question, Iola-Scandinavia 's Korz Loken the #1 TE in WI and currently the #8 TE in the country has offers from Minn, Iowa State, ND State and Central MI.... Iowa and NorthWestern in the mix. No badgers offer?

6'5 220, 4.7 40, squats 405 and benches 275... 4.0 GPA all-state academic team 2 years straight. This one should be a no-brainer offer and... nothing sh))

Seems old staff loved WI kids to much and new staff does not give a crap about WI kids at all. Need to find a balance.

This guy clearly does zero research at all before writing an article. He has Fickell as top 3 guys on hot seat. Sorry but since Fickell just got a brand new contract ext there is zero chance he's on the hot seat.

unless the badgers fire their athletic director.
 
Michael Cibene is joining the staff as assistant special teams coach. Cibene coached the Edge position at FAU this past season. Cibene previously worked with Wisconsin's outside linebackers coach Matt Mitchell when the two were at Grand Valley State.

What’s the latest on Wisconsin’s battle with the Miami Hurricanes and former DB Xavier Lucas?

Badgers AD Chris McIntosh provided an update on Wisconsin’s situation with Xavier Lucas.

Still can't figure out why WI is fighting this. I think WI got suckered into the fight by the Big Ten because WI used a standard Big Ten Agreement. It's not going WI way, and I bet the Big Ten does not back WI and pulls any behind the scenes support as this situation continues to deteriorate

Xavier Lucas Case

The court ruling is done and there is no backing needed by the Big Ten anymore and nothing much more to deteriorate. The Big Ten will remain involved because UW used an NIL agreement form written by the Big Ten.

Bottom line is that Lucas signed an NIL agreement in Dec 2024 and then almost immediately reneged on the deal though it's not clear if he got any money at that point. UW with the support of the Big Ten did not enroll him in the portal as he requested. Lucas, with the advice of a U of Miami NIL lawyer/instructer circumvented the portal by having him unenroll from UW as a student and then enroll at Miami. The judge ruled this was acceptable, in some ways rendering the whole NCAA portal null since there is now a "legal" way to bypass the whole process. There are major implications for the NCAA and the whole transfer process. It also seems to imply that signed NIL agreements are kind of meaningless.

The only reason this is still in the news is that Lucas' original NIL agreement was contingent on the "House vs NCAA" settlement which just happened but still needs to be approved by a judge. I don't think the UW is fighting anymore unless something changes due to the House settlement and the judge's final ruling on that.
