The University of Wisconsin athletic department sent an email Tuesday to Badgers season ticket holders with a subject line that reads: “ALERT ? Increased Security Measures at Wisconsin Men?s Basketball.” Yikes. Not to worry, says Justin Doherty, UW-Madison’s associate athletic director for external relations.
“There’s no increased threat level or anything like that, it’s a periodic security measure the UWPD and our management staff are engaging in,” he says.
