Paul Chryst defends Wisconsin's high academic standards
Paul Chryst wanted to dispel the myth of Wisconsin’s tough academic standards by joking that if he could graduate from the university, any of his players could accomplish the same feat.
"I got a degree from Wisconsin. It's not like you have to be a rocket scientist," Chryst said during a meeting of the state chamber of commerce Wednesday.
Wisconsin’s academic standards were thrust into the spotlight earlier this year when former coach Gary Andersen said they were the reason he decided to abruptly leave the program and become the head coach at Oregon State.
"It's been well [documented] there were some kids I couldn't get in school," Andersen told CBS Sports. "That was highly frustrating to me. I lost some guys, and I told them I wasn't going to lose them.
"I think they did what they were supposed to do [academically] and they still couldn't get in. That was really hard to deal with."
Wisconsin’s academic standards are higher than Nebraska, Ohio State and Michigan State, three schools with which the Badgers compete for recruits. Wisconsin requires incoming freshman to have 17 units of "core college preparatory" classes, which include four years of English, three years of math, three years of natural science, three years of social science and then another four electives, which could be a foreign language, a fine art, computer science or a range of other offerings.
Nebraska and Michigan State only require 14 core units, with the extra coming in the form of another math class. Ohio State requires 16 core units.
Oregon State’s academic requirements mirror Wisconsin's 13 core unites, but require just two units of a foreign language.
Chryst, who played quarterback for the Badgers, graduated with a degree in political science in 1988 and earned a master's degree in educational administration from the University of West Virginia.
Chryst was adamant that Wisconsin’s higher educational standards were not a hindrance, but rather an endorsement for the school.
"I've been asked this quite a bit, about the high standards academically," Chryst said. "I think that's one of the things that separates Wisconsin from a lot of places. ... Everything we do in the program is to help them get a meaningful degree."

Are members of the Ohio State football team dancing at halftime of Sunday's men's basketball game against Wisconsin intrigue you?
If you're bored on Sunday afternoon, you may want to tune in.
Coach Urban Meyer tweeted a teaser on Thursday.

Georgia QB battle may extend beyond spring practice
In fact, Bulldogs head coach Mark Richt indicated Wednesday that Ramsey, a redshirt sophomore, redshirt junior Faton Bauta and redshirt freshman Jacob Park will all receive reps with the first unit.
“It's more of 1A, 1B, and 1C. We're trying to give all of those guys a number of reps,” Richt said, per UGASports.com. “We're trying to make it as equal as possible. I'm sure we'll be rotating who is number one on any given day, as far as who works with that unit. I'm sure every quarterback will get reps with the one's and the two's.”
Richt said the turnover in the coaching staff on the offensive side of the ball plays a role in evaluating the position. Longtime Bulldogs offensive coordinator Mike Bobo left to become the head coach at Colorado State and Richt brought in veteran NFL assistant Brian Schottenheimer to run the offense. Schottenheimer will also coach the quarterbacks.
“Obviously we brought in a new quarterbacks coach,” Richt said. “You guys (the media) always want to know depth charts, but it's so hard to determine that because there are so many guys getting opportunities to get their reps with the one unit"
At this point, with the season still six months away, Richt said “it’s hard to say” if the staff will name a starter coming out of spring ball.
“I’m not certain we’ll be able to make that determination at that point. I’m not sitting here saying we have to name a one by the end of spring practice,” Richt said. “It’s not a big goal of ours. We want to get these guys opportunities and see how they handle it. We’ll evaluate and make that determination when we get there.”
Some of the transition of adapting the style of Schottenheimer’s offensive scheme plays a role in that decision as well.
"It's been a little bit of a melting pot in terms of what we've done and what he's done in the past,” Richt said. “I'm not going to say it's 100 percent the same verbiage that we had a year ago, but as far as the things that we're doing they married up very well."
Ramsey appeared in eight games in 2014, so he has a leg up on the competition in the experience department. Overall, he threw for 333 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions on 24-of-39 throwing. Bauta saw action in three games, completing 4-of-5 passes for 48 yards.
Park enrolled early and redshirted and Richt has often been complimentary of his work on the scout team.
"He did spend a good bit of time on the scout team. He was very unselfish in that role and gave us the best possible look. He really showed some great leadership with that group,” Richt said. “I think it served him well. Now, it's time to let him compete."
Richt’s squad is scheduled to start up practice on March 17 with the G-Day game following on April 11.

Former BYU QB Christian Stewart rejoins team for spring practice
BYU needed another quarterback for spring practice. So instead of holding open tryouts for one, the team went and found someone who accumulated significant time under center in 2014.
Christian Stewart filled in as BYU's QB when Taysom Hill was lost for the season in 2014 because of a broken leg. But as a senior in 2014, Stewart figured his last practices would be the ones BYU held for the Miami Beach Bowl. Nope. He's back.
"What a story," BYU offensive coordinator Robert Anae said via the Deseret News. "I hope it goes down as one of the all-time great BYU stories that we had a guy that was willing to advance the team, so everyone can get better while we wait for our younger (quarterbacks) to get in and get involved."
Stewart threw for 2,273 yards, 22 touchdowns and nine interceptions in 2014.
Here's how and why it happened. Hill is still out recovering from the broken leg. McCoy Hill, a sophomore who was set to receive a lot of spring reps, now has a sprained foot. Add in the fact that QB Hunter Moore is a sophomore (and had just seven rush attempts in 2014) and Stewart was needed.
''I said, 'You're like gum on my shoe,''' coach Bronco Mendenhall laughingly told the AP. '''I can't get rid of you. No matter if I pull it, I stretch it, it just snaps back.' So we laughed. Talk about a loyal alumni. I think he was maybe more excited than I was that he gets to play football again.
BYU's compliance office was able to clear his participation with the NCAA. He's still enrolled at the school as a senior, so it's no problem.
“It didn’t feel like it was a real thing, but today was fun to get back out there with the guys and just be able to throw the ball around,” Stewart said. “And what are they going to do, yell at me? I can do whatever I want out there. I can make any read I want, throw the deep ball. They can’t really say anything to me.”
Indeed, Stewart gets to do all the fun stuff without all of the other taxing drills and meetings involved with being a full-time member of the team.
“It’s awesome,” Stewart said. “I don’t have to do the crazy warm-up they have to do. I don’t have to go to the meetings in the morning. I just show up right when practice starts, warm up with coach Beck and then go in during all the team periods. Do the fun stuff.”

Auburn LB Anthony Swain reportedly leaves team
Auburn is down a linebacker for spring practice.
According to AuburnSports.com, LB Anthony Swain is no longer with the team. Neither is punter Jimmy Hutchinson.
Both LB Anthony Swain and K Jimmy Hutchinson have left Auburn's football team. Both remain enrolled in school this semester.
— Bryan Matthews (@BMattAU) March 3, 2015 At Auburn's pro day on Tuesday, Auburn coach Gus Malzahn declined to comment on his roster, instead deferring to when rosters come out at the start of spring practice.
"I'm going to update our spring roster next Tuesday, so I'm going to wait until then and I'll give you all the updates -- not just with him, but with other people, too," Malzahn said via Al.com.
Swain had 18 tackles in 2014. 12 of those came in games against Louisiana Tech, Georgia and Alabama.
Hutchinson had nine punts last year and was the No. 2 punter.
Swain was a three-star safety in the class of 2011 according to Rivals.
