Summer School Isn't Always Bad

With the Brewers frustrating Wisconsin sports fans to no end, we all received great news on Friday when frosh RB John Clay donned the #32 jersey at Badger football practice.

Clay's much-anticipated debut was delayed while he completed two summer courses at his high school. He was able to take advantage of a new NCAA rule that allows student-athletes to take one additional credit hour at the completion of their senior years.

Coach Bielema was critical of a premature Milwaukee Journal Sentinel article last month that Clay would be ineligible this season. Bielema also stated that Clay would have a chance to play this season despite missing 14 practices.

A spot on the 105 player roster opened Friday when safety Tony Megna left the program, thus allowing Clay to be added to the roster.

The addition of Clay gives UW five scholarship tailbacks on the roster. The others are P.J. Hill, sophomore Lance Smith, freshman Zach Brown and freshman Quincy Landingham, who was recently switched from strong safety.
