Description

The Wisconsin Badgers were hammered 34-0 by Ohio State — and yet the administration is signaling full support for head coach Luke Fickell and committing to big investment in the program.


🔍 In this episode we break down:

• Why Wisconsin athletic leadership is still standing behind Fickell despite blowout losses.

• How the 34-0 loss to Ohio State (shut out again) exposes deep issues in the Badgers’ offense and coaching decisions.

• What the “big investment in the football team” really means — does it signal hope or panic?

• How fans and alumni are responding: “Fire Fickell” chants, frustration mounting.

• What’s next for Wisconsin: can Fickell turn it around, or is the hot-seat getting hotter?
