Why Wisconsin?
"Wisconsin is home, plain and simple. I knew I couldn’t find another place with the same athletic tradition and academic reputation, while remaining close to home. I grew up as a Badger fan, and I’ll get to grow athletically, socially, and academically in my favorite state. As a bonus, I can easily come home and mooch off my parents!"
