A Rare Display of Class in College Athletics

University of Wisconsin athletic director (and former football coach), Barry Alvarez, was forced to have to look for a new coach last month. The popular choice of the Wisconsin faithful was current Pitt coach, Paul Chryst, the former Badger offensive coordinator. But because Chryst has only been at Pitt for one year, Alvarez thought that it would be very unfair to try and seduce him away (the fact that Pitt had already gone through three coaches in the previous three years would have made it even more devastating), and so he didn't. Coach Chryst appears to like it at Pitt and may not have been interested in leaving anyway but this was a very magnanimous gesture on Alvarez's part and it showed me that there are still a few decent fellows left out there.
