Noted: When Barry Alvarez became head football coach at the University of Wisconsin, the Badgers hadn’t had a winning season since 1984. But from 1990 to 2005, he turned the program around, bringing it to its first Rose Bowl in 30 years and winning that game in 1993 and then two more. Today, he’s the UW athletics director, overseeing a program that has enjoyed sustained success in football and basketball, along with cross country and women’s hockey.
