OT: Wisconsin coach awards scholly to walk on
Pretty cool the way Coach Anderson awards a scholarship to walk on long-snapper Connor Udelhoven. Very glad it wasn't Dantonio who did this. Link: http://www.foxsports.com/college-football/story/2014/08/06/wisconsin-badgers-gary-andersen-walkon-scholarship-big-ten-cfb-am.html

What does Mark Dantonio have to do with this?
August 6th, 2014 at 12:16 PM ^
I don't want a reason to like Dantonio.
August 6th, 2014 at 12:18 PM ^
Which has absolutely nothing to do with this.
August 6th, 2014 at 12:20 PM ^
you are absolutely correct.

But he got the question wrong so he doesn't get a bucket-hat.

If that was Coach Hoke and one of his walk-ons would have gotten the question wrong he would have said "This is Michigan" and torn the walk-on's scholarship up /s
We aim for perfection. Maybe next year, kid.
Completely unwarrented douchy criticism of Hoke.
Maybe the scholarship was a consolation prize for not getting the answering the question correctly. If he had said nine instead of eight, he might have been awarded a bucket hat.

I don't care what school it is, I never get sick of these videos.
Challenge accepted.

There was a really good vid of James Franklin offering a walk-on a scholarship at Vandy a year or two ago. Very nice when it happens.

These are always so much fun to watch. I don't care who is doing it; these are just special moments for these kids.

IMPERMISSBLE BENEFITS!!!
To follow the strictest interpretation, it isn't technically an impermissible benefit if it is something which is generally accessible or otherwise available to the student body as a whole. As we only saw one room, we cannot be certain that Coach Anderson didn't have the required 40,000 or so Wisconsin bucket hats (one for each student on the Madison campus) stowed elsewhere. If we don't see a campus full of bucket hats come September, it might be cause for concern definitely.
At least they got their free hat. These guys are still waiting...
The team meeting had broke and Udey sat in his chair alone, clenching his newly awarded scholarship with a look of disguist. He had just saved his family a fortune but it didn't fullfill him. He watched as his teammates all crowded around Kyle......Kyle and his bucket hat. Kyle put it on and strutted back and forth from one end of the meeting room to the other like some kind of super model peacock. All while exchanging high fives and pats on the back. The chant of "Ky-le, Ky-le!!" drove Udey mad with envy. "Why couldn't they have asked me his question? I knew it was Caputo" he wondered. Udey had a void that a scholarship couldn't fill. Only a bucket hat could make him feel whole. Kyle's bucket hat. He was alone now that his teammates had lifted Kyle on their shoulders and carried him out of the room. "Screw you Kyle" he said to himself.
Brilliant
