UW-Madison Chancellor Rebecca Blank said she's proud of what she called a cautious approach to playing through the COVID-19 pandemic by the athletic department.
In her yearly address Friday to the UW Athletic Board that also touched on budget issues and pending NCAA legislation, Blank said the Badgers have been "more hesitant to jump in if we think there are any risks than some other teams."
"We've tried to balance the very strong desire that we know our student-athletes have to play but also need to keep our teams safe," Blank said. "We've pulled out of a few games and we've delayed some things simply because we didn't think it was safe at that point.
