Wisconsin’s Badgers Repeat in the Rose Bowl, Coaches Clean Up

Forbes has recently published a financial evaluation of the importance to major universities of fielding successful teams. While I am not armed with the exact facts, the Badger football program was estimated to have yielded only $3 million to the University of Wisconsin in their ranking system.  It is hard to ascertain the exact compensation that goes to the competing teams but one thing is for sure.  According to Wikipedia, the teams invited to the Rose Bowl reap $20 million each for their schools. That?s real money and this is UW?s second appearance in as many years.
