The University of Wisconsin Athletic Department has lost an institution.
Jim Mott, the schoolâ??s Sports Information Director for 34 years, died Sunday night. His age was not available late Sunday night, but research showed he most likely was 79 or 80.
â??It might sound corny,â? Mott told The Capital Times just before his retirement in June 1990, â??but it really has been a love affair between me and Wisconsin athletics.â?
