Wisconsin’s battle against Iowa on Saturday comes nearly 20 years to the day of another match against the Hawkeyes that marked one of the most important games in Badgers history, even without much drama in a 41-3 outcome.

The NCAA’s Board of Governors last week directed its three divisions to draft new rules on student-athletes benefiting from their names, images and likenesses, and to have those rules enacted by January 2021.

More than a decade of hits took a toll on his body. The 6-foot-6-inch Mr. Thomas has had four knee surgeries since his days playing for the University of Wisconsin. Constant joint pain and inflammation made practice excruciating during his final pro years. “My last season I made it to three training camp workouts,” he said.

University of Wisconsin officials have taken the next step in their effort to convince the NCAA to declare transfer Micah Potter immediately eligible.

Senior Olli Hoare’s first-place finish helped the No. 14 Badgers win the men’s team title — their 50th conference championship — for the second straight year, while UW senior Alicia Monson defended her women’s championship.

“We’re just as excited to get into the facility as (students are),” Peirce said. “We share the disappointment that it’s not going to open in January, but we’re working really hard with our partners on the project.”

The seventh-ranked and Big Ten Conference regular-season champion Badgers remained unbeaten in their past 17 games at McClimon Field on Wednesday as senior Dani Rhodes broke a tie score in the first half en route to a 2-1 victory over Ohio State.

During the 2012 Olympics, an 11-year-old Reed had her eyes fixed on the television as she watched the U.S. volleyball team and her idol at the time, Destinee Hooker, who played at the University of Texas. From that moment, Reed wanted to play Division I volleyball. Her father, who played football for the University of Wisconsin, showed her what it would take to get there.

Matt Mitten, who leads the National Sports Law Institute at Marquette University, said Marquette basketball players and University of Wisconsin-Madison football players could benefit the most from the new rules.

With his team’s season-opener barely more than a week away, Wisconsin men’s basketball coach Greg Gard made it clear UW officials will not stop fighting on behalf of Micah Potter.

Brian Posick has been serving as radio play-by play man for hockey games at the University of Wisconsin since 2002, so it might seem strange that an early goal in a 7-0 early-season blowout would be among his favorite calls.

But on Friday, Posick called his daughter’s first goal with the Badgers. Maddie Posick made it 2-0 against Penn State in what became a blowout as the defending national champions moved to 4-0.

While the preseason gets under way for the Wisconsin men’s basketball team, there is a notable absence.

Ken Werner aims high. When he was 12, he decided to see every square inch of Earth and meet every person on the planet in his lifetime.

“So goal setting has always been a situation for me,” understates the Mukwonago man, who turns 73 on Monday.

Numerous universities around America have taken the step to sell alcohol at on-campus athletic events, and it appears as if soon, the University of Wisconsin will be doing the same.

UW-Madison Athletic Director Barry Alvarez said he wouldn’t schedule any California teams after that state’s governor signed a new law Monday that will allow student athletes to profit off their name, image and likeness.

MADISON (CBS 58) – Some of Wisconsin’s top college athletics officials expressed concern following the signing of a California law that will allow college athletes in that state to be compensated.

University of Wisconsin Director of Athletics Barry Alvarez says he wouldn’t schedule the Badgers to play against teams from California after a controversial law was signed into effect.

University of Wisconsin Director of Athletics Barry Alvarez told Milwaukee’s 620 WTMJ today that UW would no longer schedule teams from California if that becomes the case.

Decrease in impact may be due to conservative estimates, decline in football attendance.

The unveiling was part of a weekend that marked the dividing line between the celebration of last season’s success and the opening of a new campaign. The 2019-20 NCAA women’s hockey calendar officially opened last Saturday, and the top-ranked Badgers play their first game Friday at Lindenwood.

While the Wisconsin Badgers student section was jumping around — as they do — one Michigan Wolverines fan was not having it.

Badger fans are no stranger to game delays: just last month, a rain delay at the University of South Florida pushed kickoff time back about an hour. In the event of severe weather at Camp Randall Stadium, UW has a plan.

Camp Randall Stadium is the oldest stadium in the Big 10 conference and home to the Wisconsin Badgers.

More Badger fans have something to jump around for. On Thursday, UW-Madison announced a limited quantity of tickets are being released for the previously sold out game.

In a Facebook post, Allen Centennial Garden, a botanical garden on the UW-Madison campus, made a bet with the Matthaei Botanical Gardens and Nichols Arboretum at the University of Michigan about which university’s football team will win the game.
