WIAA & UW extend state championship deal

By

The Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association (WIAA) and the

Kohl Center

University of Wisconsin agreed to a seven-year contract extension that grants the WIAA availability to campus facilities for hosting high school State championships in boys basketball, football, golf, wrestling and softball through the spring of 2020.  The Announcement came at a news conference today.

The Kohl Center has been the site of the State Boys Basketball Tournament and the State Individual Wrestling Tournament since 1998 when the facility was opened.  With the exception of 1936, the boys basketball tournament has been held in Madison since 1920, and the wrestling championships have been conducted there since 1949.  The UW Field House has been the site of the State Team Wrestling Championship Tournament since it was moved from West Allis in 2005.

Camp Randall Stadium has been home to the WIAA State Football Finals since 1982, and University Ridge has served as host of the girls and boys State golf Championships since 1994, with the exception of the girls tournament this fall because of course renovations.  Goodman Diamond has hosted the State Softball Championship Tournament since it moved from Waukesha in 2002.

Football Badgers in prime time this season

By

Camp Randall Stadium

After playing five games in prime time last season, the Wisconsin Badgers will have two games under the lights in the upcoming 2012 season.

The Big Ten Conference announced that the Badgers’ home game against Utah State on September 15 at Camp Randall Stadium will kick off at 7pm and be televised by the Big Ten Network.

Like last season, the Badgers will open Big Ten play in prime time against Nebraska.  Last year, the Badgers crushed the Cornhuskers 48-17 under the lights in Madison.  On September 29, Wisconsin will make its first visit to Nebraska’s Memorial Stadium since 1973.  The television assignment is yet to be determined (ABC, ESPN or ESPN2).

Last season, the Badgers beat UNLV, Nebraska and Michigan State (Big Ten Championship game) under the lights.  They also lost to Michigan State (reg. season) and Ohio State in prime time. 

The Badgers have played 16 prime time games in head coach Bret Bielema’s six seasons, going 12-4 in those contests.  Dating back to 1995, Wisconsin is 29-5 in its last 34 night games.
