While, even as a Badger fan I would have voted for PSU as the toughest place to play. He is correct when it comes to scheduling. There has been several instances where they tried to get a BCS team in only to have them balk at coming back. Texas was the latest example of this. UW agreed to play there first but Texas tried to get the return game pushed back which basically ensured they would buy that game out and not return the trip and they would come up to UW first either.
Nothing was scheduled so there was nothing to push back. Texas said they could cancel a game with UCF in 2009 and make a return trip in 2013. Wisconsin wouldn't agree to that arrangement.
You're fine to say that Wisconsin didn't like the terms that Texas was dictating to them but implying Texas had a fear of playing in Camp Randall isn't factually accurate without more information to affirm that. And believe me, I do agree that the terms don't seem fair because the news stories gave the impression that Texas was trying to hold the upperhand in negotiations by taking the front and holding off on the back end of the trip.
