UW highlights child abuse, asks fans to be respectful Saturday

Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez said on Monday UW officials planned to honor the children allegedly assaulted by former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky. To that end, a large blue ribbon has been hung on the outside of the south wall of the UW Fieldhouse in an effort to help create awareness around the issue of child abuse. Blue is the ribbon color used to highlight child abuse awareness.
