UW Athletics: Does football deserve to be UW’s most celebrated sport?

Football has always been the biggest draw for students and Badger fans. Every game day is an event, and every beer bottle on the street, obscene fan-made sign and crowded road is a part of the experience.

The stars of the gridiron are the most recognizable students on campus and the program certainly gets its fair share of national attention thanks to Fox’s Big Noon Kickoff. But, does football deserve to be the most celebrated sport in Wisconsin athletics?

In their last 15 games, the team earned a losing record of 7-8 and has lacked star power since the departure of Jonathan Taylor after the 2019 season.
