A possible addition to the 2010 freshman class for the Wisconsin men's basketball team has been denied by the Big Ten to commit to Wisconsin after originally committing to Iowa.
Ben Brust of Mundelein Ill. has been denied his request to transfer to the University of Wisconsin because of a rule that bans players from transferring between Big Ten schools and still be able to recieve a scholarship. Brust wanted to transfer to Wisconsin after Todd Lickliter was fired as Iowa head coach.
Because Brust had not officially enrolled in school at Iowa he wanted to be allowed to transfer to Wisconsin. The Big Ten denied the appeal for the rule to be waived because of the termination of Lickliter at Iowa.
Brust can still transfer to the University of Wisconsin, but he will have to do it as a non-scholarship athlete. After the departure of Ian Markolf from the Badgers, Brust could have been a candidate to fill the vacant spot and become part of the Wisconsin 2010 recruiting class before the spring signing deadline.
