I guess they were scared. Instead, they counter-offered a home and home series which Saban politely asked them to stuff it back where it came from.
Somehow, due to the media wishing to create a much bigger story than Wisconsin refusing to play Alabama at a neutral site, which was the original offer, they decide to flip it and go with the Alabama refuses to play Wisconsin angle.

Right, that is because the original article came out of Wisconsin, the Wisconsin State Journal, to be exact. Of course they are going to spin it their way. The media outlets who picked it up were just too lazy to put it right, or thought it made better headlines the way it was.
I wonder why though, seriously, Wisconsin refused Alabama's initial offer of a neutral site game? I think they were scared that what happened to Clemson, Virginia Tech, and what is about to happen to Michigan, would happen to them.

Nick Saban: Playing Title Game in Wisconsin Snow Wouldn't be "The Right Thing" - Badger of Honor - A Wisconsin Badgers Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and more.
Let me preface this by saying I think Nick Saban is a great football coach, possibly one of the greatest coaches in the history of the college game. No

Saban, with ESPN apparently organizing the effort, made an offer for a neutral site game. Bulimia deferred because he was afraid. That's pretty much how I read it.
Then his bosses told him to offer a home and home, which they knew good and well Alabama wasn't looking for or wanting, just so they wouldn't like like pussies.
Yeah, that's pretty much how it went down. You know a local Wisconsin paper isn't going to spin it bad for the home town boys.

Seeing as how Wisconsin has never played in Tuscaloosa, I'll just take it you are uniformed.
The neutral site game would have likely been in a nice domed stadium like JerryWorld. But, Wisconsin was evidently scared.
