How possible NCAA, legislative changes could impact Wisconsin Badgers

MADISON – The Wisconsin Badgers are “prepared for the new world” of college athletics, as interim athletic director Marcus Sedberry described it.

That new world has a lot of uncertainty. Possible NCAA rule changes and Congressional action are among the variables that the Badgers – and their peers across the country – have needed to reckon with roughly a year after the House vs. NCAA settlement and five years into the NIL era.

Sedberry – in his interim role following Chris McIntosh’s abrupt departure in April until a permanent hire happens sometime in the summer – appears to be embracing the NCAA’s possible changes.

“I try not to harp on some of the uncertainty and the challenges because I think all of those really present themselves as opportunities,” Sedberry said at the UW Athletic Board’s June meeting. “Opportunities for us to solidify who we want to be in the future, to ensure that we’re all aligned around what is going to be required for us to be successful in the future.”

Here is how some of the possible changes could impact the Badgers:
