More pay...moving from a conference that is in the sh*ter to one that for all practical purposes is on top...a school that it is a prime recruiting location and that has a history of winning?

History of winning? Arkansas is the most overrated team in the history of football. In my 30 years they haven't done crap, yet every year they start in the top 15.

FWIW Arky has been to the title game three times, they just lost all three :D

Yeah, this is a bad move unless he was getting pressured out of Wiscy for sucking this year.

They finished really strong, won the conference and are playing in the Rose Bowl again. If he gets pressured out for that, the AD should be fired.

The AD is Barry Alvarez, and he is about as likely to be fired by Wisconsin as Chip Kelly is by Oregon. Also, some rumors are floating around that Alvarez may fill in as head coach for the Rose Bowl.

I also doubt Barry was turning the heat up on him due to any sort of lack of results on the field.

Top dog in a major conference where he is currently dominating vs inheriting a dumpster fire in a conference where he will most likely never see the same success that he is accustom to......
