Oates: This year, UW is a basketball school

With the Wisconsin Badgers football team winless four games into the Big Ten Conference season, the changeover is now complete.
UW is a basketball school.

It may be for this year only, but, as they do at Kentucky, Duke, North Carolina and other basketball-first schools, UW fans have largely pulled the plug on football and are eagerly anticipating the start of the men’s basketball season.

So are the Badgers, though it has nothing to do with football.
