How 'pragmatic' Ipswich bounced straight back to the Premier League
Ipswich Town secures Premier League promotion with a 3-0 win over QPR!
Wisconsin's football program is experiencing a turnaround as coach Luke Fickell approaches a top 10 recruiting class for 2027. This improvement comes after a disappointing record of 17-20 in his tenure.

All things considered, Luke Fickell hasn't exactly been a fan favorite in Madison.
The Wisconsin Badgers football program has a rich history. It's not one that comes with a slew of National Championships, but fans sure wish they could go back to the Rose Bowl days after Fickell's squad failed to qualify for a bowl game each of the last two seasons.
Fickell was one of the most highly sought-after coaches on the market when Wisconsin landed him, but he's gone just 17-20 since being named head coach.
Now, things are looking much brighter. Wisconsin is nearing a top 10 recruiting class of 2027 thanks to a stellar week from Fickell and his staff. The Badgers seemingly haven't missed on recruiting the top in-state players, and this class should help put Fickell's hecklers to rest.
While these players need to be properly coached and aren't all guaranteed to be superstars, this is still a massive step in the right direction. After being on the hot seat for quite some time, Wisconsin's new athletic director still has their own decision to make, but a fantastic incoming set of recruits makes that decision even more intriguing.
