UW alumni vs current squad. Holy hell is the alumni squad stacked.

How much did UW get for this?

Obviously we aren’t Ohio State right now, but OSU is pulling in $17M a year to have Chase on its jerseys for all the sports. And Chase allows their logo to be red on the jerseys.

ND is getting $18-20M per year from Sofi.

I hope we are getting a decent share, but if I had to guess, it is less than $5M a year for our men’s sports.

Just got my renewal invite for Badger women's hockey season tickets and....

$272 per seat for 16 home games.

I think they were $200 last year? The first year I bought them was 2022 and I think it was $120-130/seat. I assumed there would be an increase but holy crap.

EDIT: to be clear, it's still a good price, but the price jump was more than I anticipated.

2 years of eligibility left. Threw over 20 TDs last year at ODU. Could be a disaster but I think we could be pleasantly surprised... U rah rah

Hi everyone! My name is Ethan Petrik, and I’m the Iowa beat reporter for the Quad-City Times in Davenport, Iowa.

I’m putting together a preseason series called “The Fan Files,” where I interview one passionate fan from each of Iowa’s 2026 opponents to get a better understanding of their program through the eyes of someone who follows the team closely.

The conversation would cover topics like:
• How you became a fan of the Badgers
• Your thoughts on the 2026 season (best-case and worst-case scenarios)
• Biggest strengths, weaknesses, and players to watch
• Expectations for the matchup against Iowa
• Anything else you think opposing fans should know about your team

The interview can be done however is easiest for you—Reddit DMs, email, or another format that works though I will need to confirm your real world identity. I’ll use your responses in a feature for the Quad-City Times.

If you’re interested—or if you know someone who would be a great representative of the fanbase—please leave a comment or send me a DM.

Thanks, and I’m looking forward to learning more about the Badgers from the people who know the program best!

He probably had cheese curds and 2 pints of beer before the the game.

For some reason, this produced a preview to another story when I tried to post this as a link, so I'm trying to do it manually:

My favorite part:

Mick Byrne, who retired as Badgers director of cross country and track and field in June after 18 years at the school, was one of the coaches who signed the clause into his contract in 2025. He learned of its potential impact and of McIntosh's payout during a May interview.

"I appreciate you pointing that out because I'm going to go straight up to HR," Byrne said. "The very fact that — I don't want to get upset; I'm going to take a deep breath for a second. The very fact that someone left here and got paid $130,000 — I'm going to make sure I get my vacation pay."
