Wisconsin Badgers

I would like to start this thread up again for anyone who is interested in discussing the Badgers. In the future, I hope that the moderators will remove posts from antagonistic people, rather than removing this thread all together. Otherwise, antagonists will be able to remove any thread they want to. So, let's keep things good natured and civil when we talk about the Badgers.

The majority of college players never make it to the pro circuits. They can make more $$$$ jumping from school to school. Rumor has it Kansas upped the offer for Storr to 850k. Rumor also has it Chucky is going to Louisville for 700k. Chucky made 200k as a Badger last year. It is all about the 💰 and you can't blame the players or the coach. Coaches been jumping to better jobs with bigger contracts forever.
Everyone is on Gard about losing players. Duke is down seven players! Chunky reportedly getting $500,000 in NIL and might be a package deal with his high school teammate. Wisc has NIL money but not $1/2 million for Chucky who never even made 1st 2nd or 3rd all Big Ten Teams.
My opinion is that UW would be well served to move on from Gard. Having said that, he had zero to do with Hepburn transferring. Hepburn is a high/average, low/good level player. He's never going to play in the NBA. He's probably not athletic enough for the the G league. He'll have to put together a career overseas. He found some program willing to pay him what he was looking for, and he took it. In his situation, it's all about the bag.
Jarred Bereggen take and I agree. If you think this is about the coach and not the money you aren't paying attention.
"If every Badger fan that complained about transfers and called for Gard to be fired contributed to the Varsity Collective we would be able to afford Chucky and Storr 10x over.

Transfers today have very little to do with coaching, and everything to do with 💰
I don’t like it either, but that’s the reality of college sports today.
When there is no protection for schools, players go to the highest bidder. That’s the only thing that matters"
