Even though they can spread out the hit over the next 6+ years?

That's just him...add in the staff. It's a lot of cash plus you have to have money for the new HC/Staff too.

I don't know Kyle, Brut, or Nortman.

In fact, I've never heard of them. Must be lite/light beer drinkers

Just an FYI. Kyle Wallace is a UW-Whitewater grad and is a "radio" guy. Ben Brust is a UW grad and was a shooting guard for several years for Bo Ryan and was a starter on the 2013-14 Final-4 team. He played professionally in Europe for a few years. Brad Nortman is a UW grad and played football for Bret Bielema. He was a punter, drafted by the Carolina Panthers and was their punter in Super Bowl 50. I don't know what kind of beer they like .

I can confirm that the same things are swirling around Madison and have been for weeks. The program is fractured internally.

Wisconsin (2-5, 0-4) continues to battle major injuries, and they couldn’t come at a worse time. Heading into Saturday’s matchup at No. 6 Oregon (6-1, 3-1), junior linebacker and leading tackler Christian Alliegro (arm) was ruled out, per the official injury report.

Alliegro broke his arm in last Saturday’s 34-0 loss to No. 1 Ohio State, but finished the game and played 62 snaps. Through seven games, Alliegro racked up 47.0 tackles, 6.0 for loss, and 2.0 sacks.


Wisconsin hasn’t scored a point in its last two games. It won’t get any easier, as starting tailback and leading rusher Dilin Jones was also ruled out. A redshirt freshman, Jones has 309 yards and two touchdowns this season, averaging 3.9 yards per carry.

Starting quarterback Billy Edwards will also miss his fourth consecutive game with a knee injury. Edwards briefly returned for the Big Ten Conference opener against Maryland, but played just seven snaps before being removed from the game.

Another blow on offense, starting center Jake Renfro has been ruled out. Battling injuries since fall camp, and his entire Wisconsin career, Renfro has appeared in just four games during the 2025 campaign.

Sophomore tailback Darrion Dupree, sophomore safety Matthew Traynor, senior safety Preston Zachman, senior wide receiver Tyrell Henry, and senior offensive lineman Kerry Kodanko, Renfro’s backup, have also been ruled out, according to the official injury report.
