Got it.  Thanks for the insight.

Voice,
It did state in the Journal-Sentinel article that "Both Stanley and Freeman remain enrolled at UW." 

"Enrolled" is not the same as "Academically and Athletically Eligible."  I can be a student and yet not be eligible to play sports based on poor grades or discipline problems.

Mr. Badgerwarhawk,
Watch your step with who you are betting with.  Look at how many words were spelled wrong and how many posts he currently has.  CSI CaptainKurt may have solved this one.  That sounds like someone oh so familiar. 

However,  I could be wrong here and would owe someone an apology.  Furthermore, I doubt that I'm wrong.

What's even funnier is that in his signature, it says "Go Titans, 1993 World Series Champions." 

Sorry, but they were runner-ups in 1993, and won it in 1994. 

I have a feeling you are on to something here....

I hate Oshkosh Baseball. I had a friend of mine who played for them in the mid 90-'s when they did win the title,and he hated the coach. I then saw the guy coach in 2003,and he changed pitchers like every five pitches or so against Whitewater because they kept getting rocked.
I have no clue of Oshkosh baseball history except for a long time they were very good in the mid 90's.However the Warhawks rule the WIAC Diamond know.
As far as the whole Freeman and Stnalye transferign thing. I will stick with my original comments that it won't happen because Brez doesn't need those types of charecters causing trouble in his last season which should end in a national title game victory.

Thanks for the link, Flash.   It says he's a Junior but redshirted in 2004.

Pat, I was wondering.....  If a player redshirts at the D1 level, does that count as a year of eligibility at the D3 level or will D3 accept the redshirt year without it using any of his eligibility?  I guess what I'm asking is if Freeman transferred to D3 would he have one or two years of eligibility remaining?

Why because he didn't play?  Sorry, but that guy obviously knows his baseball.  Just look at what he has done there (see below.)

What should he have done, keep them in?

Actually it was much longer than just the 90's....  From 1968-1999 (32 years) Oshkosh won 26 Conference Championships.  Try finding period of domination like that in any sport  in WIAC history.  (I'm sure La Crosse may have some solid numbers in Wrestling.)

However the Warhawks rule the WIAC Diamond know.

They have won three straight Conference Championships, and of course the National Championship.  Let's see them do it for a few more years before anyone says they rule the diamond.  It was only 5+ years ago, when they were struggling to finish .500, going 21-19 in 2002, (thanks to the breaking of some rules) and 20-20 in 1999.

Wrestling does have some solid numbers, but IMO, the indoor/outdoor track numbers are more impressive with 33 WIAC championships and 21 national titles.

Good call!!!!  I completely forgot about the Track teams.....

Where was Freeman on the Badger depth chart?  Isn't D-Back about the only need for WW?

Wisconsin State Journal reports today that Freeman was dismissed from the team. Article implies that he did not develop as expected as a football player at the DI level. I guess we will have to see how he plays at the DIII level if he does in fact come to the Hawks.

"Freeman, from Wauwatosa West ....did not factor heavily into the Badgers' plans this season. Although the Badgers lack depth at cornerback, Freeman had struggled in his development."

So CUBS what rules exactly did UW Whitewater's Baseball team break ??

I will be honest that I am not exactly sure what rules were broken, but I think it had something to do with the use of an illegal player (sort of like Oshkosh did in Football a few years back.)  Someone closer to the program may be able to answer your question a little better.

Thanks for the link, Flash.   It says he's a Junior but redshirted in 2004.

D-III honors a D-I redshirt as a national rule. Some conferences may choose to restrict their schools from doing so, the MIAC being a notable example, but D-III as a whole recognizes them.

Why does the MIAC have a stick up its butt?  They have a lot of, what seems, unnecessary rules.  No spring practice, can't honor D-1 redshirt (as if there is a tsunami wave of d-1 transfers pounding down the doors to get into the MIAC), etc.  I just don't get it.

The MIAC evidently allows spring football practice. The reason I know is the St. Cloud Times did an article a couple of weeks ago on St. Johns 2006 spring workouts.
