## Resource

Wisconsin football’s future hinges on Luke Fickell’s 2026 season—his worst year yet, with 17 wins and 21 losses, no bowl game for the first time in 22 years, and a 1990-level low. But don’t panic: the Badgers are doubling down, splashing cash on NIL deals and bringing in 33 transfers, plus a stacked 2027 recruiting class. Meanwhile, Wisconsin’s women’s volleyball and hockey teams keep dominating nationally, while the school’s new Culver’s sponsorship—perfect for the state—adds a splash of local pride to the uniforms, even if some wish it were the volleyball or hockey teams getting the spotlight.
