27 News uncovered the wife of UW-Madison Athletic Director Barry Alvarez provided a moped to a Badger football player, with the terms of the exchange of the vehicle unclear.
27 News discovered Cindy Alvarez’s actions as it investigated the use of university scholarship funds by players to purchase mopeds and in some cases, cars.
UW-Madison associate athletic director Vince Sweeney acknowledged to 27 News a gift of something of the value of a moped from Alvarez to a player would constitute a violation of NCAA rules. But Sweeney said no rules were broken.
