The University of Wisconsin athletic department did the right thing by giving back the $500 to the fellow from Milwaukee who thought he was going to get a chance to buy season football tickets with his donation to the department’s Badger Fund.
As sports columnist Todd Finkelmeyer reported in The Capital Times Monday, Bill Meunier, who works as an assistant for a Milwaukee nonprofit, scrimped and saved to put together the Badger Fund donation because he heard ads on the radio that to him, at least, implied that if he forked over $500 he’d be eligible to purchase a season ticket.
