present Vincent with its 2017 Ford-Kinnick Leadership Award. As accomplished as Vincent was on the field collegiately (1991 All-American and co-Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year) and professionally (15 NFL seasons, 200 career starts, 47 interceptions, five Pro Bowls), he has been equally accomplished as an entrepreneur, humanitarian and philanthropist. In 2002, Vincent was the Walter Payton Man of the Year. A year later, he was the “Whizzer”
White NFL Man of the Year. In 2005, he was the recipient of the Athletes in Action/Bart Starr Award. In sum, they exemplified his character, leadership, community service and charitable donations. Asked if he has been able to keep track of all the leadership awards that he has collected over the years — including the 2017 NCAA Silver Anniversary Award — Vincent said, “To be honest, I don’t know how many begin with the term leadership.” JUSTIN TAFOYA / NCAA PHOTOS

roy Vincent had a long day at the office on Sunday — a workday for the National Football League and Vincent, the executive vice president of football operations. Since the former Wisconsin cornerback wears his Motion W on his sleeve, he still hadn’t gotten over the loss the night before at Michigan. “When they don’t play well, it affects my Saturday night and Sunday,” Vincent said of the Badgers, a 38-13 loser to the Wolverines whose starting left tackle, Jon Runyan Jr., is the son of former Michigan star Jon Runyan, the NFL’s vice-president of policy and rules administration. Vincent and Runyan are colleagues at the league’s Park Avenue offices in New York City. They’re also old friends from their playing days together with the Philadelphia Eagles. It was Vincent who recruited Runyan, a former congressman from New Jersey, to the administrative staff. And it was Runyan who got bragging rights on Vincent after Saturday night’s outcome. “He sent me an e-mail,” Vincent said, “and at the end of it, he signed, ‘Go Blue.’” That stung. Yet despite the loss, the Badgers are still in the running for the West Division title and a trip to Indianapolis for the Big Ten Championship Game. Vincent will be waiting for them should they make it. As he was last year when the conference used the Lucas Oil Stadium forum to
But his narrative is full of references to it. “I’m just serving,” explained the 48-year-old Vincent, a native of Trenton, New Jersey. “Me and my wife Tommi want to live a life of service — purpose over position. If someone wants to recognize it as leadership, we’re just trying to do what we can do.” Whether Vincent is attending a game at Ohio State (son Taron is a freshman defensive tackle) or Towson (son Troy Jr. is a senior defensive back), he’s still keeping tabs on his other family, the Badgers (his oldest daughter Desiré is married to former NFL linebacker DeAndre Levy. Both are UW grads.). Vincent, in fact, may have had a Badgers flashback on Saturday night when Wisconsin started two true freshmen in the secondary against Michigan: cornerback Rashad Wildgoose and safety Reggie Pearson. In 1988, Vincent started as a true frosh against Illinois, his only start of that season. “I was scared to death,” Vincent recalled. “Here’s a kid who played one year of high school football and I’m on scholarship playing Big Ten football. I’m 159 pounds and I didn’t think I belonged. Talk about being nervous. I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t even eat. I thought, ‘This is a dream. Pinch me.’” But then came the reality. The Badgers lost, 34-6; one of 10 losses in 1988. “The game was fast and it seemed like the guys were enormous,” Vincent said. “I felt like a freshman. I looked like one and I probably acted as such.”
But he persevered — part of the advice that he would share with Wildgoose and Pearson. “Learn from any mistakes that were made,” Vincent said. “Understand that you’re probably not going to play under brighter lights; you’ve played in front of 111,000 people. The game is not going to get any faster and, quite frankly, you’re probably not going to play against better talent this year.
“I’M JUST SERVING. ME AND MY WIFE TOMMI WANT TO LIVE A LIFE OF SERVICE — PURPOSE OVER POSITION. IF SOMEONE WANTS TO RECOGNIZE IT AS LEADERSHIP, WE’RE JUST TRYING TO DO WHAT WE CAN DO.” “So, take what you did well and put it in your save folder. Because of stage fright, you were probably a little bit hesitant. But you have to know why Coach (Paul) Chryst brought you here and there’s a reason why Coach (Jim) Leonhard put you on the field. Now, you have to believe in yourself.” As an undrafted free agent, fresh out of Wisconsin, Leonhard signed with the Buffalo Bills in 2005. The starting free safety was a 34-year-old veteran, Vincent, who warmly welcomed the rookie. Even though he was in the twilight of his career, he was more than happy to be a mentor to a Badger. “There are only a few players — just a handful that I’ve either watched or played with — that
just had that knack of being around the ball and he always had that knack,” Vincent said of Leonhard. “As they would say, he was a coach that was playing. Tremendous, tremendous football IQ. “Now this is showing up as a defensive coordinator. I hear Coach (Rex) Ryan talking about him all the time when he talks about the smartest players he’s ever coached.” Vincent also stays in touch with many former Wisconsin teammates. Like Rich Thompson, the chief human resources officer at Adecco, the largest temp staffing firm in the world. Like Mark Mangum, a Vincent business partner, and co-founder and CEO of Eltekon Management group. Like so many others. “Some of the greatest people that I’ve ever met have been from the state of Wisconsin and, in particular, from Madison,” said Vincent, who endowed a scholarship at the UW in 2003. “They are special people — pleasant, kind, helpful, resourceful. And it’s rubbed off on me. It was contagious.” On receiving the Big Ten’s Ford-Kinnick Award, honoring the late Gerald Ford and Nile Kinnick, Vincent said, “I’m a representative of the University of Wisconsin-Madison and that’s what makes it special. They could have chosen a lot of individuals. I’ll be walking into that facility as a proud Badger.” Vincent will keep the light on, too, since he’s expecting plenty of company in Indy. ▪

MICHAEL DEITER SENIOR ▪ OFFENSIVE LINEMAN ▪ CURTICE, OHIO
If you’re hosting an offensive line recruit, what are you telling him about this place? “I would tell them what it takes to play O-line here. All the work that goes into it and mental aspect that goes into it. And then, I’d tell him about all the fun we have here. That’s what I would stress the most. The work is hard, but it’s fun work. Your friends on the O-line will be friends for the rest of your life and I don’t know if that happens everywhere.” What were you told when you were being recruited to UW? “I knew about the history of O-linemen here and how UW just spits out great O-lineman after great O-lineman. I was wondering how that’s possible and guys told me it wasn’t easy, you have to put in the work. Just because you come here doesn’t mean you’ll be an All-American. But they’d also tell me about the comradery and the fun we have here.” Best non-football memory from your five years at UW? “It would probably be any of the days with Beau (Benzschawel) and Dietz (Jon Dietzen) where we had a killer day fishing.” Who does the best Paul Chryst impersonation and why? “I might actually say Beau (Benzschawel). He does a really good Coach Rudolph and Coach Chryst too. The way he carries himself and picks up on some of the things Coach Chryst does consistently is just really accurate.” What does the first episode of your outdoor reality show look like and what would it be called? “It would be called ‘Fat Boyz Outdoors’ for sure. Boys with a ‘z.’ You’d probably see me, Beau and Jon Dietzen on Lake Mendota just sitting there staring at you and fishing because we wouldn’t care to talk to the camera. We want to catch fish.”
DAVID STLUKA
If you can’t play football, is there a career you could pursue in the outdoors? “My major is retail and I have always thought it would be great to work for the head office of a Bass Pro Shop, Cabela’s or any outdoor company. It would just be interesting to see what goes into purchasing and products. So it’s retail-based, but it’s outdoor concepts and working with products that I think are sweet.” ▪ 23

Swish Upon a Cure
Playing together to raise money for cancer research BY BADGERS GIVE BACK STAFF
F
ight the fight and find the cure. It was another year of (s)wishes coming true. Wisconsin men’s basketball hosted their annual Swish Upon a Cure event to raise funds for cancer research. All Wisconsin sports teams were invited on Tuesday, Oct. 9, for a “pre-shoot” opportunity where they would take their turn to attempt a free throw and half-court shot. Hundreds of UW student-athletes from 20 teams filled the Nicholas Johnson Pavilion with one goal in mind: Help find a cure. “I loved having the opportunity to come down to the Kohl Center with my teammates and support the fight against cancer,” said Kevin Braun, a junior men’s swimmer. “I lost my aunt to brain cancer and my cousin was recently diagnosed with leukemia. It’s important to help other families who have gone through what your own family has gone through and it is events like ‘Swish Upon a Cure’ that make it happen.” Men’s basketball head coach Greg Gard and his wife Michelle donate $1 for every person in attendance, $5 for every free throw shot made
and $500 for every half-court shot made. 251 student-athletes participated in the shootout and raised $6,626 towards cancer research. Among the 251 attendees, 75 student-athletes made free throws and 12 made half-court shots. “I love the idea of getting everyone involved to raise money for such a great cause and allowing the donation experience to be high energy and an extremely exciting atmosphere,” said Jordyn Bloomer, a goalkeeper on the women’s soccer team. Bloomer was one of 12 student-athletes who made a half-court shot. Together the student-athlete pre-shoot and main campus event raised a grand total of $22,030 for the fight against cancer. Swish Upon a Cure is one of the many events associated with the Garding Against Cancer campaign. Garding Against Cancer started in October of 2015 to honor Gard’s father and is a foundation dedicated to raising money for cancer research around the state of Wisconsin — thinking globally, but helping locally.

ndy Nielsen stood on the field of mostly empty Michigan Stadium, squinting into dying Saturday afternoon sunlight. He had a serious look on his face, the kind a police officer gets when they seem worried. A veteran detective with the University of Wisconsin Police Department, Nielsen was staring at the nearby access tunnel used to channel all sorts of humanity to the field where, in roughly two hours, the Badgers would face Michigan in a Big Ten Conference game. In his first visit to the vast, iconic facility that would soon open its doors to a crowd of 111,360, Nielsen saw that the passageway would simultaneously funnel fans, players and coaches for both teams to and from the field. Game officials, band members, spirit squads would also use the tunnel, its lower access point lined by boisterous fans of the home team and designed to bisect the visiting bench area. Throw in the fact that large speakers, hooked up to the public address announcer and currently blaring music at a high volume, were tucked behind the Wisconsin bench and you understand why Nielsen’s face was creased with a look of concern. “Don’t like it,” he said. As a uniformed member of the highly-trained, five-person athletic liaison security detail assigned to work with the Badgers, Nielsen’s job
is not to be deterred though. It’s to calmly assess, scrutinize, react and absorb millions of random bits of subtle information, all in the name of keeping members of the Wisconsin football entourage safe. The data-gathering process could come in a very public setting, like escorting Wisconsin head coach Paul Chryst off the field after a game or flanking the bench to discourage unruly fans during one. It could also come well behind the scenes, like taking the emotional temperature of the hotel lobby the night before the Badgers play or engaging the student-athletes with trust-building small talk that has nothing to do with sports. It’s a volunteer assignment that Nielsen and his four colleagues on the detail — special events lieutenant Cherise Caradine, training sergeant Juan Avila, officer Patrick Lau and detective Matt Schirmacher — see as a privilege. It’s not just the 150 or so individuals associated with the football program, either. Members of the unit work with all 23 sports on the Wisconsin manifest, a task that calls for them to connect with coaches, make presentations to student-athletes about things like alcohol and safety and serve as a go-to resource for other security-related topics. For example, all student-athletes and coaches have the cell phone numbers of their assigned officers in case questions or issues arise.

The two Wisconsin natives — Nielsen grew up in Madison and Lau in Fox Point — also reviewed summary reports from previous trips to Michigan Stadium. That was especially revealing for Nielsen and Lau because neither had been to the largest college football stadium in the country before. The two men, both friendly and self-deprecating, sat in the very back of the Delta charter, preparing mentally for the weekend ahead. “You have to be on your toes, big time,” Lau said. After a late-afternoon landing at the Detroit Metropolitan Airport, the four-bus caravan transported the party to nearby Ypsilanti and the hotel, where Nielsen and Lau checked in with the manager. A team meeting gave way to dinner which gave way to some surveillance work by Nielsen and Lau. For the better part of four hours, dressed casually, they moved back and forth across the main reception area with their inner radar engaged. “It’s our job to figure out who’s in the hotel and the surrounding area,” Nielsen explained. “How big is the bar? How late is it going to
be open? What kind of crowd is in here? Are we in a hotel with a lot of Michigan fans? Is there a wedding here?” Turns out the bar area was large and wide open and there was a contingent of Wolverines fans staying there. There also was a wedding reception on the docket. Nielsen and Lau quietly patrolled the area while a host of Wisconsin players mingled with their families. The two men watched and listened intently until roughly 11:30 p.m. local time. That was the players’ curfew for the next night’s game, which kicked off at 6:30 p.m. “Our job is to make sure all the players and staff get a good night’s sleep,” Nielsen said. “There’s no interruptions. There’s no fire alarms pulled. Nobody’s going to be running through the halls, stuff like that.” It turned out to be a quiet night all around. “The players are so well coached, so well — I don’t want to say trained — that they know what’s right and what’s wrong,” Nielsen said. “They know it’s a privilege to be here also. “We rarely have issues with the players and that’s a testament to the coaching staff and the players they recruit.”

At one point after dinner Nielsen accompanied Chryst to a meeting with ESPN broadcast personnel who would be televising the game. With few exceptions, someone is with Chryst whenever he’s in public. Nielsen explained that Chryst, relentlessly unassuming, will typically stop for photos and autographs for fans, “but there comes a time where there’s that one person who’s aggressive, it helps that we’re there.” Chryst, in his fourth season as coach at his alma mater, was asked if there’s ever been a time when he’s been relieved to have a bodyguard at his side. “Yeah, but probably not for the security reasons,” he said. “They’re good people and I appreciate how they’re truly a part of this team.” Lau, a Wisconsin graduate in his second season in the security detail, said it’s “an absolute pleasure” working with Chryst.

uated from Edgewood College, said openings on the unit don’t come up often. When they do it’s because of a job change or retirement. “The officers get paid for their time,” she said, “but it’s time away from your family and time working outside of your normal business hours.” Members of the security detail get Personal Protection Team training with input from the Secret Service and FBI. Yes, it’s come in handy. Caradine said heightened security measures had to be developed to handle the attention paid to Russell Wilson when he quarterbacked the Badgers to the Big Ten title in 2011. “Some fans tried following him home,” she said. When Wisconsin played in Miami in the Orange Bowl late last year, some fans actually hid in trees. “I’m not kidding,” Caradine said. “They would hide in the trees and wait for the bigger named players to come out to try and get autographs.” Caradine said there have been cases in other Wisconsin sports over the years where stalkers have created “sensitive” issues. “It’s scary, especially for the student-athletes,” she said. “They’re kids and confronting an adult that’s putting you in an awkward situation like that is really unnerving.” That’s one of the main reasons why the Wisconsin security detail exists. “We get paid to be put in those uncomfort-
