Performance bonuses may be altered (Badger Beat)

The University of Wisconsin Athletic Department is in the process of changing its Exceptional Achievement Award Policy, which came under fire recently when football coach Bret Bielema earned a $100,000 bonus for leading his team to the Champs Sports Bowl.

The proposed changes, which must be approved by the Athletic Board on Friday, would lower the bonuses football coaches receive for the two lowest bowl games.
