A Message from the Director of Athletics

On behalf of the student-athletes, coaches and staff at the heart of our Badger family, I want to extend my sincere thanks for your support and incredible generosity. Your annual contributions and charitable gifts to Wisconsin Athletics continue to elevate the lives of the student-athletes who proudly wear the Motion W.

The world of college athletics is undergoing significant change. We are now all familiar with NIL, the transfer portal and conference realignment. The playing field may look different, but the name of the game for us remains the same. We are here to help student-athletes pursue excellence in the classroom, in athletic competition and in their communities. Your support is a critical factor in this effort.

The new indoor football practice facility will be a game-changer for Wisconsin Athletics. Support for student-athletes’ NIL activities is now an essential part of the landscape. And we still have growing operational costs. Your financial support of these areas has been tremendously important and will be moving forward. The continued success of our department is a direct result of your generosity and we can’t thank you enough.
