Sporting News reported Thursday that Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez will speak with Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany about Meyer's recruiting methods during the league's next athletic director meetings.
During his National Signing Day press conference, Bielema hinted that Meyer was using "illegal" recruiting practices. He said as much again Thursday when contacted by Sporting News, and without getting into specifics offered this:

"I called Urban and we spoke about it," Bielema said. "We talked about it, and he said it would stop and it did. I'll let our commissioner deal with anything else. That's not who we are [in the Big Ten]. We settle things among ourselves as coaches."
Meyer's arrival and big splash on the recruiting trail, which included flipping several recruits committed to other Big Ten schools, clearly has rankled coaches in the league. There's a belief, whether it's real or not, that things are done differently in the Big Ten. Bielema spells it out to the Sporting News' Matt Hayes, saying, "We at the Big Ten don't want to be like the SEC -- in any way, shape or form."

Meyer, of course, made his previous coaching stop in the SEC at Florida

How they hell do you have a negative star rating? Did they sign a -2 star or something? Maybe a gay kicker is a negative star rating?Not that there is anything wrong with that...

Two things about that statement:

1. You don't want to WIN? What a great message to send to your athletes and fanbase. Like or not, Big Ten toolbags, the SEC is the gold standard in athletic conferences. Notice the rather long string of National Championships? Yeah, this statement comes off like a petulant child.

2. Don't try to come off like Wisconsin and the Big Ten are on some sort of moral high ground. It makes you sound like a prick. Your programs are just as dirty as ours and pretending otherwise is ignorant beyond belief.

if you`re going to coach , recruit and WIN in the SEC you`ve got to be smart(unless you`re at LSU)and work your *** off. The Big Ten is a good ole boy league where the Bob Stoops and Urban Myers of the world with their SEC work ethiccan kick *** recruiting and Meyer will also win BIG. 17 the Big Ten.

Holy crap!!! So if a player commits to a Big 10 school then the other schools just quit recruiting. Thats retarded and the worst competitive nature I've ever seen. Their 17 and 18 years old, they don't know what they want, the players should be allowed to go thru the recruiting process till signing day.</p>

he said when they made that "gentleman's agreement," he basically told the rest of the coaches to 17 off, he wasn't abiding by it. he knew exactly what kind of ******** it was and he basically said that the big 10 would never compete with the SEC as long as they are pussified like they are now with recruiting.

their talent and speed, Meyer is going to face a situation where his team is completely unchallenged until they get to a BCS opponent. And by then, the difference in the opponent is going to hit them in the balls. aGAIN.

You know someone hates you when you get negative stars. That makes me want to go back and read the Ethan Albright rant from Madden.
