At the beginning of the month Chris McIntosh became the University of Wisconsin Badgers Athletic Director, and this week is his first full week for the new leader of the Badgers. McIntosh is replacing Barry Alvarez who held the role for eighteen years after being the football team’s head coach for fifteen. McIntosh was a football player under Alvarez, and years after his professional career took a role with the university in 2014. Though McIntosh has been handed the keys to Badgers athletics, his predecessor will be celebrated in October with “Barry Alvarez Day” on October 2nd, when Wisconsin football hosts Michigan.
