Wisconsin Athletics 2014-15 Annual Report by Wisconsin Badgers

201415ANNUALREPORT

From the desk of Barry Alvarez

DAVID STLUKA

find myself often reminding people that winning is hard. A big reason I feel I have to do that is because of how successful our programs have been. Final Fours, Big Ten championships, January bowl wins … those things just don’t happen. But it sure is fun when they do. We’re coming off another tremendous year in 2014-15, one that I hope everyone enjoyed and appreciated. In the fall, our men’s cross country, women’s soccer and volleyball teams started it off by winning conference titles. When the men’s basketball team swept the Big Ten regular-season and tournament championships and the women’s hockey team took home the WCHA playoff crown, that gave us six titles, a truly phenomenal showing by our teams. Sixteen of our 23 sports competed in postseason play, another remarkable achievement. A year after shocking the country and advancing to the NCAA title game, the volleyball team was back at it, giving eventual NCAA champ Penn State all it could handle in the regional title game. The football team, playing in its fifth-straight January bowl game, knocked off SEC power Auburn in dramatic fashion. The women’s hockey team cemented its status as one of the sport’s powers by making its eighth Frozen Four appearance in the last 10 seasons. And who will ever forget the men’s basketball team ruining Kentucky’s dream of an undefeated season and advancing to the NCAA title game for just the second time in school history. Winning never gets old and either does the commitment our student-athletes have to performing in the classroom. A total of 191 of them earned Academic All-Big Ten honors and the cumulative GPA of all of our student-athletes was 3.018 following the spring semester. Leading the way was women’s golfer Kimberly Dinh, who finished her UW career with a perfect 4.0 GPA while graduating with a degree in chemical engineering and earned an NCAA postgraduate scholarship. We are equally as proud of our student-athletes’ dedication to giving back to the community. Last year they combined to volunteer for nearly 7,000 hours of community service through more than 300 appearances in the community. An astounding 16 student-athletes volunteered more than 50 hours of their time to community service in 2014-15. As I walk around our facilities I can’t help but be reminded of the enormous generosity of our many donors. Our student-athletes are set up to have success on and off the field in large part because of what your donations have allowed us to do. Supporting more than 900 student-athletes, about half of which are on scholarship, is a large endeavor made easier by your support. Lastly, I would be remiss if I didn’t thank our fans. Our gameday atmosphere is the envy of many schools around the country. We ranked among the top five in the country in attendance in four different sports. For the upcoming season, our season ticket renewal rate is 99 percent for men’s basketball and 95 percent for football. In addition, Badger fans support us everywhere we go, as was witnessed by anyone who was in Indianapolis on Final Four weekend. You truly are the best fans in the nation! Please take some time to peruse this report and look back at 2014-15, re-live some great memories, and see what all goes in to making the Badgers one of the most successful athletic programs in the country. Thanks for all you do! On, Wisconsin!

Director of Athletics Barry Alvarez

THANK YOU! The University of Wisconsin Athletic Department would like to thank our fans and the more than 14,000 donors who support our mission, allowing Badger student-athletes to achieve success in the classroom and on the playing field. On, Wisconsin!

On, Wisconsin... to championships

he 2014-15 season was another banner year in Wisconsin athletics as the Badgers claimed six conference championships and watched a total of 16 sports compete in postseason play. The fall started with Big Ten championships from women's soccer, volleyball and men's cross country and continued with football's thrilling win in the Outback Bowl. The winter brought titles from women's hockey and the men's basketball team's historic march to the national championship game. Overall, the University of Wisconsin athletic program finished 18th in the 2014-15 Learfield Sports Director’s Cup, its ninth top-20 finish.

Behind the 1-2 finish from Malachy Schrobilgen and Michel Van Voorhis, the UW men's cross country team claimed its 15th Big Ten championship in the last 16 years.

“Madison has everything one would want in a college football town. The Wisconsin football program is firmly embedded within the fabric of this majestic hamlet.” — BleacherReport.com

Frank Kaminsky

Ivy Martin

Kaminsky entered the 2014-15 season with some of the greatest expectations in school history. Somehow, the 7-footer managed to exceed them, becoming a consensus national player of the year and leading the Badgers to a historic season. The first player in Wisconsin history to win national player of the year, Kaminsky filled his mantle with the Wooden Award, Naismith Trophy, Oscar Robertson Trophy and Kareem AbdulJabbar Award. Hopefully he reserved room for plaques, too, as he was named national player of the year by the Associated Press, Sporting News and USA Today. A consensus first-team All-American, Kaminsky became just the third Big Ten Player of the Year in UW history. Simply put, Frank "The Tank" Kaminsky did it all for Wisconsin and drove the Badgers back to the Final Four and one step further in 2015, reaching the national championship game. Kaminsky was the only player in NCAA Division I to average at least 17.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.5 blocks per game. The senior from Lisle, Illinois, led UW in nearly every major category: points, rebounds, assists, blocks, field goal percentage, 3-point field goal percentage, free throws and free throw attempts. Kaminsky's stellar senior campaign fueled the Badgers to both the Big Ten regular season and tournament championships, as well as the program's first-ever No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament.

It's hard to describe the career of Martin and feel that you've fully done it justice. However, her senior campaign cemented her as one of the greatest to represent the Motion W on their swim cap. Nowhere was that more evident than at this year's Big Ten championships. Martin dove into the pool seven times and came out a champion all seven times, setting a Big Ten record by claiming seven titles at the conference meet. Martin was named Big Ten Swimmer of the Championships for the second-straight season. A 13-time Big Ten champion, Martin earned firstteam All-Big Ten all four years at Wisconsin. This season, she reset both the Big Ten and Wisconsin records for the 50-yard freestyle, the 100 freestyle, the 100 butterfly, and the 200 freestyle relay and 400 freestyle relay. Making her case as one of the fastest female swimmers in the nation, Martin won the 50 freestyle every time she swam in the event until finishing runner-up at the 2015 NCAA Championships. A 16-time All-American over her career, Martin posted four top-six finishes at this season's NCAA championships. She was runner-up in the 50 freestyle, placed fourth in both the 100 freestyle and 200 freestyle relay, and contributed to a sixth-place finish in the 400 freestyle relay. Martin finished her illustrious career at Wisconsin with five school records (50 free, 100 free, 100 fly, 200 free relay, 400 free relay) and four Big Ten records (50 free, 100 free, 200 free relay and 400 free relay).

He won the 2015 Big Ten crown in the 200 back and earned All-American honors by placing sixth in the event at the 2015 NCAA Championships. During his senior season, the kinesiology major claimed 24 first-place finishes, including 11 in the 200 backstroke alone. He owns school records in the 100 and 200 backstroke, and holds the second-fastest 200 IM time in program history.

SERF Competition Pool Project Announced In 2014, Wisconsin Athletics announced a fundraising campaign for a new $26 million competition pool and separate diving well that will be included as part of the University of Wisconsin recreational sports renovations to the Southeast Recreational Facility (SERF) near the Kohl Center on the UW campus. Construction is planned to begin in 2017, with the 50-meter pool ready to host swimming meets and recreational swimmers in 2019. The pool will have seating for 1,500 spectators and will include a separate diving well. It will link to the existing UW swimming and diving facilities at LaBahn Arena (completed in 2012), which include student-athlete locker rooms, lounge space and training areas. ■■ 50-meter pool ready to host swimming meets and recreational swimmers in 2019; ■■ Seating for 1,500 spectators ■■ Separate diving well with springboards and 10-meter platform

"The swim and dive team is very grateful for the plan to build a new facility! To have the opportunity to train in a highquality aquatic center and be able to host bigger meets will be extremely beneficial for our program. It will put us on par with other NCAA teams that have great facilities. We are all super excited for the future of this program." Ivy Martin DAVID STLUKA

Badgers Give Back

n its third year, the “Badgers Give Back” program, a community relations platform meant to increase publicity of student-athlete outreach efforts, streamline the request process for student-athlete appearances and ensure compliance with NCAA regulations, has become a staple of the student-athlete experience at UW. While volunteering has always been a staple for UW studentathletes, the centralized effort behind the program has allowed the Badgers to extend an even bigger reach into the community:

Marketing

n 2014-15, the University of Wisconsin continued its athletic-multimedia rights partnership with Learfield Sports and its on-site operational team, Badger Sports Properties (BSP). BSP is a property of Learfield Sports and the local multimedia rights holder for UW Athletics. BSP oversees the production and distribution of all Badger radio broadcasts, including live game action and coaches’ shows. In addition, the local entity solicits sponsorships and other support for UW Athletics. Its talented team of sales executives assists sponsors in finding the right marketing mix, whether it is advertising on the game broadcasts or a sign in Camp Randall Stadium or the Kohl Center. Wisconsin Athletics enjoys great relationships with its corporate partners. These partners share not only the values of the Athletic Department, but those of the campus as well. These partnerships often expand to beyond athletics to positively impact students across campus. One such example is a new partnership with Delta Airlines. This multiyear agreement supports not only athletic initiatives, but progams within the Wisconsin School

of Business, the Memorial Union and Union South and the Wisconsin Alumni Association. Adidas and the UW Athletic Department continue to partner on a comprehensive sponsorship agreement in which adidas serves as the department’s exclusive provider of athletic apparel for all 23 Badger teams. Wisconsin Athletics is also pleased to continue to partner with Dr. Pepper Snapple group and Badger Max. These agreements bring smooth refreshing beverage options, including Dr. Pepper, A&W Root Beer, 7-UP and Snapple to our facilities. BadgerMax sports drink and water is also available, the official isotonic beverage and water of the Badgers. The merchandising partner of UW Athletics is Gold Country, Inc., which continues to operate Bucky’s Locker Room retail stores at Camp Randall Stadium and the Kohl Center. In addition, Bucky’s handles all game-day merchandising at all UW Athletic facilities and is the department’s exclusive website merchandise sales partner.

Wisconsin Athletics was recognized nationally for its partnership efforts. Wisconsin earned a National Association of Collegiate Marketing Administrators (NACMA) gold award for sponsorship activation for its collaboration with the PGA of America. The promotion, designed to create awareness of August’s PGA Championship at Whistling Straits in Kohler, was highlighted by PGA TOUR professional Steve Stricker hitting a golf shot from the top of the Camp Randall Stadium to mid-field at halftime of a football game last October.

Coaches Radio Shows One of the great ways to keep up with the Badger head coaches is to catch them at their weekly radio shows throughout the sports seasons. These free events are held at local restaurants in the Madison area and give fans a chance to grab a bite to eat, hang out with friends and listen to (and watch) the UW coaches discuss a variety of topics relating to their teams or sports. Hosted by Badger radio personalities such as Matt Lepay and Mike Lucas, the weekly radio shows give UW fans a close-up look at their favorite sports.

Bucky’s Buddies Kids’ Club More than 12,000 kids, age 12 and under, are currently registered for the Bucky’s Buddies Kids Club. Membership is free and kids are provided a seasonal newsletter, personal correspondence on their birthday, as well as first information on kids clinics hosted by UW Athletic teams.

Seven Badgers were inducted into the UW Athletic/National W Club Hall of Fame in 2014. Their induction brings the total number of members in the Hall of Fame to 205.

The 2015 Crazylegs Classic celebrated its 34th anniversary in April with over 15,500 runners and walkers participating on a beautiful spring day! This annual event is organized and administered for UW Athletics by the National W Club and a loyal set of long-time race volunteers. The race is named for Elroy “Crazylegs” Hirsch, the former UW–Madison football star and athletic director who was the official starter for every race from 1982 until his death in 2004. Since that first race in 1982, more than 316,000 runners and walkers have taken part. Kelly Sheffield, Wisconsin's volleyball head coach, served as the grand marshal for this year’s event.

The National W Club hosted the Badger Blast tailgate in the UW Field House prior to the last home game against Minnesota. There were over 1,200 fans who attended the event and enjoyed live entertainment, a live auction and raffle prizes. The W Club annual banquet took place in November prior to the Minnesota home game. The 2014 event had over 200 members and their guests attending.

The National W Club hosts various reunions each year to welcome back letterwinners. The 2014â&#x20AC;&#x201C;15 school year saw two special reunions, including the men's track and field program gathering to honor the career of long-time head coach Ed Nuttycombe, who retired in 2013. Under his direction, the program won 26 Big Ten championships and an NCAA Indoor championship during his 30 years at the helm.

Continuing changes in the college

athletics landscape promise to make 2015-16 another challenging year for UW Athletics’ budgets. The breakout of the “Power Five” conferences from the rest of the NCAA are bringing significant revisions to the existing paradigm. Uncertainties surrounding the recent litigation call for further study and clarification before final determination of economic impacts. Rule changes regarding the cost of attendance, student-athlete meals, and other factors continue to bring significant cost factors to the forefront.

NCAA to pay for family travel under pilot program

Grants waiver to College Football Playoff for national championship

DEAD PERIODS:

The NCAA will help cover expenses for players’ families to travel to the Men’s and Women’s Final Fours this spring, under a new pilot program announced today.

12/15/14 12:00AM—1/15/15 12:00AM Football

The NCAA will pay up to $3,000 total in travel, hotel and meal expenses for family members of each student-athlete who competes in the Final Four semifinal games but don’t advance to the championships. The NCAA will pay up to $4,000 in expenses for each of the student-athletes who compete in the men’s and women’s basketball championship games. The College Football Playoff may provide up to $3,000 in travel expenses for families of each competing student-athlete.

A Friendly Reminder to Submit Any of The Following Past-Due Forms: Telephone Logs CARA Logs Athletic Participation Forms

A waiver granted by the NCAA also allows=ed the College Football Playoff to assist with expenses for family travel to the national championship game in Arlington, Texas.

“Championship experiences like the Final Four create memories of a lifetime for student-athletes, and we want to make sure their families are there to support and celebrate with them,” said NCAA President Mark Emmert.

Emmert said the pilot program begins with providing more support for the families of student-athletes competing in the Final Fours and College Football Playoff championship. NCAA member schools and conferences also can adopt new rules to provide these family travel expenses on a permanent basis or for other championships.

Mark Lewis, NCAA executive vice president of championships and alliances, said the Division I men’s and women’s basketball committees are dedicated to including student-athlete families as a part of the overall championships experience.

“Providing travel expenses has long been a part of this discussion, and I’m thrilled we were able to move forward with this support,” Lewis said. During the 2013 Men’s Final Four, the NCAA provided free tickets to studentathlete families and moved their seats behind the respective team benches. During the 2014 Men’s Final Four, the NCAA also hosted a special reception for student-athlete family members.

“From multiyear scholarships to opportunities to return to school and complete their degree on scholarship, we have been dedicated to further improving the student-athlete experience since our presidential retreat in August 2011,” Emmert added. “Providing travel expenses for student-athletes’ families is another example of this progress.”

Above: This monthly educational newsletter was sent out to all UW athletic department staff members to provide an update on timely compliance topics.

Below: The compliance office also reaches out to individuals outside of the athletic department, inlcuding fans, boosters and alums. This page educating season tickets holders appeared in the Football Fan Information Guide.

COMPLIANCE As a season-ticket holder at the University of Wisconsin, you play an important role keeping our Badger student-athletes on the field. To help protect the eligibility of our current and prospective student-athletes, we are providing you the following information on pertinent NCAA rules and regulations. In general, you may not provide anything or make any special arrangement for our student-athletes or prospective studentathletes (anyone in grades 9-12), as well as their parents, relatives, and friends. This prohibition includes, but is not limited to: » Providing the following to a student-athlete, prospect, their parents, relatives, or friends: - Room, board, or transportation - Entertainment (even nominal items, like food or beverages, are impermissible) - Use of an automobile for any purpose - An award or gift - An honorarium for a speaking engagement - Goods/services, even if purchased at face value, if the availability of those goods/services is not legitimately advertised to the general public

ACTUAL INFRACTION REPORTED BY OTHER INSTITUTIONS... Violation 1: A representative of the institution’s athletics interests (booster) provided an impermissible extra benefit to the parents of a student-athlete (SA). The booster recognized the SA’s parents during a home competition, and at the booster’s request, the SA’s parents sat in the booster’s premium seats valued at $50. The booster and the SA’s parents were from the same town, but a violation still occurred. The SA was immediately declared ineligible and prevented from competing until repaying the value of the benefit to a local charity of his choice. Education was provided to the coaching staff and SAs, and a letter was sent to all season ticket holders and parents of SAs. Violation 2: A prospective student-athlete (PSA) had impermissible telephone contact with a representative of the institution’s athletics interests (booster). The PSA placed a call to the booster, and the booster discussed the institution’s athletics program with the PSA instead of referring the PSA to the athletics department. The PSA was immediately declared ineligible for future competition at the institution, pending rules education and a letter of admonishment to the involved.

» Cannot provide tickets for any price (even selling tickets at face value) » Purchasing or exchanging complimentary admissions, athletic gear, awards, or autographed memorabilia from a student-athlete. » Making in-person, on– or off-campus recruiting contacts with prospective student-athletes or prospects’ relatives or legal guardians, including a prohibition on correspondence and telephone calls. If you are contacted by a prospect or a prospect’s parents/guardians about UW Athletics, please refer those individuals to the UW Athletic Department. With your help, we can all make sure our student-athletes stay eligible! On Wisconsin!

For more information on enrolled student-athletes, see: http://www.uwbadgers. com/compliance/current-badgers.html Prospective Student-Athletes

The compliance office staff works with coaches to answer questions from prospects and their parents regarding the recruiting process and academic eligibility. Prospects are also sent educational mailings in conjunction with a National Letter of Intent and before their arrival in Madison during the summer. Additionally, all prospects enrolling in summer school are provided a compliance orientation with a compliance office staff member. For more information on prospects, see: http://www.uwbadgers.com/compliance/ future-badgers.html Representatives of Athletics Interests

This group, which includes UW alumni, donors, employers of student-athletes, and other boosters, receives most of its information from the compliance office via educational mailings. Educational materials are packaged with larger mailings from other departments, such as the Athletic Ticket Office or the Development Office, so that the compliance education information has a broader impact. NCAA rules reminders are also placed in the suites and clubs at Camp Randall and the Kohl Center. For more information on fans, boosters, and alums, see: http://www.uwbadgers.com/compliance/fans-boosters.html

Monitoring Initiatives The compliance office monitors athletic department activities by reviewing documentation submitted by coaches and staff on a variety of activities including practice times, travel itineraries, communication with prospective student-athletes, donation requests and occasional meals. Monitoring helps the compliance office identify and reduce areas where the institution and athletic program are most at risk for violating NCAA, Big Ten Conference, WCHA, and institutional rules. If a violation occurs, the compliance office self-reports the violation. The self-reporting process requires the compliance office to determine how the violation occurred, how the violation could have been prevented and how to prevent the violation from recurring. Among other actions resulting from a violation, the compliance office may modify or develop a form that will promote future compliance. Throughout the year, the compliance office reviews autographed memorabilia requests to ensure all donations are in accordance with NCAA rules. Furthermore, the compliance office also authorizes all requests for student-athlete appearances.

GOAL: COMMITMENT TO COMPLIANCE

Spread awareness of NCAA rules and regulations that govern athletics and ensure strict adherence to those rules and regulations.

ACADEMIC AWARDS Big Ten Medal of Honor

Capital One/CoSIDA Academic All-America

Presented annually at each Big Ten institution to a male and female student-athlete in the graduating class who has demonstrated proficiency in scholarship and athletics. The Medal of Honor is the most prestigious award in the conference, being awarded to only 24 student-athletes annually since its start in 1915.

Academic All-Americans are nominated by their sports information director and must be a starter or important reserve with legitimate athletic credentials and at least a 3.30 cumulative grade point average.

■ Kimberly Dinh, Women’s Golf ■ Drew teDuits, Men’s Swimming

Big Ten Outstanding Sportsmanship Award One member of each varsity sports team on every campus is chosen by his or her institution as a Sportsmanship Award honoree, and two Outstanding Sportsmanship Award winners are then selected from each institution. Sportsmanship Award winners distinguish themselves through sportsmanship and ethical behavior. In addition, these honorees must be in good academic standing and must have demonstrated good citizenship outside of the sports-competition setting. ■ Joel Rumpel, Men’s Hockey ■ Aja Van Hout, Women’s Swimming

That ties with Georgia and Bucknell for the second-longest streak in the nation, trailing only Nebraska’s run of 44-straight seasons.

The Elite 89 is presented to the student-athlete with the highest cumulative grade-point average participating at the finals site for each of the NCAA’s 89 championships. ■ Jenny Ryan, Women’s Hockey
