Now there's an athletic department I can't wait to emulate.

Maybe Spanier will be coming back soon, too.
Stable genius.

I think they said that he took the job and then days later the report came out about the violations.

Said he was the guy that actually ran thing day to day in Wisconsin.

While they're at it, might as well bring in some office guys from Ohio State and Notre Dame.

He wasn't in charge for any of the Miami scandals.  I think Brad is right this was alot about his work at Wisconsin, I wouldn't be surprised if Alvarez gave him a recommendation.
