Why Wisconsin?

"I chose Wisconsin because it was my dream since I was a little kid to become a Badger. It was because of the athletic tradition, strong academics, and prestige you think about when someone says "UW-Madison". Then when the opportunity presented itself to compete in a sport at UW, there was no way I would have turned that down."
