New background details have emerged about Wisconsin's appeal to the NCAA to clear freshman center Andy Van Vliet to play this season.
Multiple outlets are reporting this week that Wisconsin will receive a final ruling on Andy Van Vliet's eligibility no later than Tuesday. The team announced Van Vliet was ineligible to play prior to its exhibition last Wednesday. Wisconsin immediately appealed the initial denial of it's waiver request, citing factors outside the player's control.
According to at least one report, UW knew this issue could become problematic for as long as the Badgers have been recruiting Van Vliet.
