Director of Athletics Barry Alvarez released the following statement:
“We had no new positives on Tuesday and Wednesday, which was a great sign,” UW Director of Athletics Barry Alvarez said. “That’s when we started thinking Friday could be a day we could get the team together to start doing things with an eye towards having a regular practice week this week. So we were cautious on Friday and Saturday, split guys into groups, and just did conditioning. The team then got together and held its regular Monday practice this morning.
“We feel confident that we have a handle on the situation and are excited to play this week at Michigan. As we have done throughout, we will continue to monitor our testing results and base our decision on those results.”
The game is scheduled to take place November 14 at the Big House. Wisconsin had previously cancelled their scheduled games at Nebraska on Oct. 31 and home vs. Purdue on Nov. 7.
