The University of Wisconsin released a statement on Oct. 19 confirming that “private photos” of the Badgers’ women’s volleyball team had been circulating online “without consent,” prompting an investigation by the UW-Madison Police Department into “multiple crimes.”
“I’ve got to say football here is not like football at my prior institution,” Mnookin said in her first appearance before the UW Athletic Board on Wednesday. “They are joining the Big Ten — we think — but at UCLA the stadium was on the other side of town. It was a 45-minute drive in the worst traffic.
Fans disappointed in the Badgers home football schedule in 2022 got a bit of good news regarding the 2023 slate at Camp Randall Stadium.
Next year’s lineup features the same matchups against UW’s Big Ten west rivals, only they trade home fields. Of the three opponents from the other half of the conference, only one is a holdover from this year – and it’s Ohio State (on Oct. 28). Otherwise, the Badgers will swap Maryland and Purdue for Indiana (Nov. 4) and Rutgers (Oct. 7).
The University of Wisconsin-Wisconsin Police Department released statistics of the citations they handed down on the game day Saturday.
During the Purdue Game, UWPD said they ejected 43 people, with 24 of them being students.
UW-Madison police reported that 43 people were ejected from Camp Randall Stadium and 20 people were arrested during Saturday’s game between the Badgers and Purdue.
Of the 43 people ejected, 24 were UW students, and of the 20 arrested, 12 were UW students, police said in a statement detailing the numbers.
For the first time since “private photos and video” were shared online of the University of Wisconsin women’s volleyball team, the team took to the court.
Depending on the investigation, UW Madison School of Computer, Data and Information Sciences expert Dorothea Salo said criminal charges or school disciplinary actions could be filed against whoever shared the photos without the subjects’ consent.
”We do have a state statute about this and it is within the realm of possibility, or at least it seems so to me, that some or all of what happened could be covered under this statute,” Salo said.
UW-Madison officials were saying little Thursday about their investigation into the online circulation of “private photos and videos” of Badgers volleyball players, which the athletic department said Wednesday included images taken inside the team’s locker room.
Neuroscientist Julie Stamm, a clinical assistant professor in the Department of Kinesiology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, told CNN it can typically take 10 to 14 days after a concussion for the brain to get back to its baseline condition.
The UW-Madison Police Department (UWPD) is investigating after private photos and a video of UW volleyball student-athletes were shared publicly without their consent.

According to the athletic department, the photos were not intended to be shared. The exact content of what was in those photos and videos was not specified.
LaBahn Arena has been home for the University of Wisconsin women’s hockey team for a decade. That has been more than enough time for coach Mark Johnson to find his comfortable spots.
University of Wisconsin-Madison police are investigating the circulation of “private photos and video” of Badgers volleyball players, including from inside the team’s locker room.
Participants and spectators at the 2022 Nuttycombe Wisconsin Invitational wore green ribbons Friday to honor their former teammate. The ribbons are in remembrance of Sarah Shulze, a former UW-Madison track star who took her own life in April of 2022.
Hurricane Ian, a Category 4 storm that packed winds of 150 mph, barreled into Southwest Florida Sept. 28, leaving many communities in the region like Chaney’s noted hometown of Cape Coral devastated.

University of Wisconsin women’s basketball coach Marisa Moseley opened Day 2 of Big Ten media days in a confident fashion Wednesday.
She was sure about what she wanted to talk about. She barely looked at the notes she had written down, and she even matched her glasses to her leopard print shoes.
“It’s all about the little details,” Moseley said.
Less than eight months after the University of Wisconsin men’s basketball team’s win over Michigan ended with punches being thrown on the Kohl Center court, the coaches of the two programs appeared to put the incident to rest.
Milwaukee-born Emily Sisson demolished an American marathon record when she crossed the finish line in 2 hours, 18 minutes and 29 seconds in the Bank of America Chicago Marathon on Sunday.
Sisson broke Keira D’Amato’s record by 43 seconds (set in Houston earlier this year) and placed second overall in the event, behind native Kenyan Ruth Chepngetich (2:14:18).
Sisson attended high school in Missouri but returned to the state of her birth to begin her college career when she competed as a freshman at the University of Wisconsin. She earned Big Ten Freshman of the Year in cross country and earned All-American status when she took second at the NCAA Great Lakes regional and third at the Big Ten championships. Sisson transferred to Providence College thereafter.
Two interceptions and three tackles earned University of Wisconsin safety Kamo’i Latu a conference accolade.
The document confirms that Chryst has no duty to mitigate the buyout, or return money if he lands another job during the period through Jan. 31, 2027, covered by his contract. Mitigation was part of his employment agreement, and UW could have deducted any amount Chryst earned from pro or college football teams before that point from its liquidated damages if the sides hadn’t reached an agreement.
The 50th reunion for UW’s class of 1972 featured a panel consisting of alumni and student-athletes in September that discussed the impacts of Title IX, the progress UW athletics has made and the disparities that still exist.
Quoted: Study author Dr. Drew Watson, physician for the University of Wisconsin Athletics, said: ‘The cancellation of sports in the early pandemic was accompanied by decreased physical activity and quality of life, as well as startlingly high levels of anxiety and depression.
“Although the return to sports has been associated with large improvements in physical activity levels, quality of life and mental health, we are still seeing higher levels of anxiety and depression than before Covid, suggesting that this will remain a vitally important priority for years to come.”
Wisconsin’s Keeanu Benton, Chimere Dike, Nick Herbig, Graham Mertz, John Torchio and Braelon Allen all spoke during a news conference Wednesday.
University of Wisconsin officials are set to pay former head football coach Paul Chryst a buyout of $11 million.
The payment is to be made no later than February 1, 2023.
According to athletic director Chris McIntosh, Chryst was due to receive paid 85% of the remaining value of his five-year contract after being fired Sunday.
That was $20,263,434.
That led to athletic director Chris McIntosh’s midseason decision to fire Chryst, a former Wisconsin player who had gone 67-26 since taking over in 2015. Wisconsin and Chryst have agreed on an $11 million buyout that the University of Wisconsin Foundation will pay.
Chryst will be paid his buyout no later than Feb. 1, and all funds will come from the University of Wisconsin Foundation, the school’s fundraising organization.
“Wisconsin confirms former coach Paul Chryst will receive a reduced buyout of $11 million, to be paid no later than Feb. 1, 2023. All funds will come from the University of Wisconsin Foundation.”
Chris McIntosh looked like a man who needed some sleep Sunday night, the weight of firing Paul Chryst that morning apparently resting heavily on the University of Wisconsin athletic director’s shoulders as he addressed reporters at Camp Randall Stadium.
Paul Chryst will get an $11 million buyout after he was fired Sunday as University of Wisconsin football coach.
Paul Chryst is out as Wisconsin’s head football coach.
UW officials announced Sunday that Chryst has been removed five games into his eighth season as the Badgers’ head coach.
Defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard, 39, was named interim head coach.
“This place means a lot to me. I became who I am at the University of Wisconsin and at this football program,” he said. “I feel like I can take this opportunity and help this place grow. That’s why I came back a number of years ago, and why I haven’t left.”
“After a heartfelt and authentic conversation with Coach Chryst about what is in the long-term best interest of our football program, I have concluded that now is the time for a change in leadership,” Wisconsin Athletic Director Chris McIntosh said in a statement. “Paul is a man of integrity who loves his players. I have great respect and admiration for Paul and the legacy of him and his family at the University of Wisconsin.

Chris McIntosh attempted a juggling act as he sat in a folding chair on a podium Sunday night in front of reporters seated in a media room below Camp Randall Stadium.
Jim Leonhard came to Madison in 2001 as an unknown walk-on. Fast forward more than 21 years later — which included multiple All-America nods, a 10-year NFL career and a quick ascent up the college coaching ladder — and he now sits in the driver’s seat of his alma mater’s program.
UWPD issued a total of 11 citations Saturday, showing a decrease in citations compared to previous weeks.
UW athletic director Chris McIntosh fired Chryst a day after the Badgers’ second consecutive blowout loss, with Saturday’s 34-10 defeat coming at home against Illinois. The news first reported by ESPN’s Adam Rittenberg.

UW athletic director Chris McIntosh said Wednesday that the department’s disassociation with the establishments owned by Steve Schmitt as a result of NCAA punishments handed down in 2001 is ending.
The team’s captains — quarterback Graham Mertz, defensive lineman Keeanu Benton and linebacker Nick Herbig — are the de facto jury each week on the color combinations for that Saturday’s game.
Yep, it’s that time of the year again for David Gilreath.
Inevitably, when the University of Wisconsin football team gears up to face Ohio State, his name will surface, particularly until the Badgers beat OSU for the first time since the night of his legendary 2010 kick return.
But 12 years after Gilreath started off an unforgettable 31-18 win over No. 1 Ohio State with a bang, he’s a full-time employee with his alma mater and planning for UW’s many years ahead. He’s the university’s director of development, housed in the athletics department.
There’s a method to the madness of identifying all of the trunks of equipment, technology and uniforms that the University of Wisconsin football packs for a road game like Saturday’s at No. 3 Ohio State.
The Badgers made history at the Kohl Center Classic, breaking the NCAA’s regular-season attendance record as 16,833 fans gathered Friday. It broke the previous record set nine days ago by Nebraska and Crieghton in Omaha, topping their mark of 15,797. UW dropped the match in five sets, but that did little to dampen the atmosphere.
It was a record-setting night for the University of Wisconsin volleyball team, but there was no storybook ending.
The Badgers set a NCAA regular-season attendance record with 16,833 fans to beat the record of 15,797 Nebraska and Creighton set in Omaha earlier this month. Florida, however, left the building with a 3-2 victory in that was fueled by a strong start and a fifth-set comeback.
When the University of Wisconsin football team took the field for warmups Saturday they wore shirts honoring the 50th anniversary of Title IX.
It was one of many ways the athletic department took the time to honor women’s athletics at Badgers games over the weekend.
Of the 66 people ejected, 39 were UW students, and of the 32 arrested, 24 were UW students, police said in a statement detailing the numbers.
It was a record-setting night for the University of Wisconsin volleyball team, but there was no storybook ending.
Dream big? Why not?
That is level to which the University of Wisconsin volleyball program has raised itself. The defending national champion has played in the last three Final Fours, won the last four Big Ten titles and in the past decade has more than doubled its average attendance to 7,200-plus.
The Badgers expect to not only blow away that number but also the attendance record for a NCAA regular-season match when it plays Florida at 7:30 p.m. Friday at the Kohl Center. This will be the first match played at the Kohl Center since the 1998 NCAA final and with a capacity of more than 17,000 for basketball, there is more than enough room to beat the record of 15,797 set by Nebraska and Creighton in Omaha earlier this month.
Then again, Taylor’s never been broken, not in three years at the University of Wisconsin (where he twice ran for 2,000-plus yards) and not in two seasons with Indy. And he doesn’t plan to let that change, which is why he’s borrowing from the NFL’s original innovator of wellness, Tom Brady, and rethinking his training plan.
There will be competition on a couple of levels Friday night at the Kohl Center.
This year, as fall sports seasons are underway, we are marking the 50th anniversary of Title IX, which became law in 1972. It was a law of great consequence. As the U.S. Department of Education says, “Title IX protects people from discrimination based on sex in education programs or activities that receive federal financial assistance.” Specifically, the law says: “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”
UW-Madison police reported that 45 people were ejected from Camp Randall Stadium and 31 people were arrested during Saturday’s game between the Badgers and Washington State.
“It’s huge”, Travis Beckum said of the honor. “I’m very fortunate to have my name up on that board.”
“There’s been a trend across the country of the declining gate,” Wisconsin Athletic Director Chris McIntosh told Yahoo Finance. “That’s a signal from the customer. So I think you’re seeing programs like ours try to introduce new options and an opportunity to hedge against that and provide an opportunity for existing customers to find something that might retain them for longer or attract new customers.”
A server issue at a ticketing vendor used by the University of Wisconsin that caused fans issues accessing their digital tickets has been resolved.
Eight athletes were selected from the Contemporary Era, since 1974: Laura Abbinante (volleyball), Travis Beckum (football), Hilary Knight (hockey), Jim Lemon (golf), Erica Palmer (cross country and track and field), Gary Suter (hockey), Jordan Taylor (basketball) and Reggie Torian (football and track and field).
Former Badgers football player Carl Silvestri was chosen from the Heritage Era. Cheryl Bailey was picked from administration; she was associate athletic director for sport administration. And Msgr. Michael Burke was selected for special service.
