Less than 24 hours after finding out that he won't have the opportunity to lead the University of Cincinnati football team to a third straight American Athletic Conference championship, Luke Fickell is headed Madison, Wisconsin, to take over the Wisconsin Badgers program.
Sources confirmed to The Enquirer that Wisconsin has reached an agreement with Fickell and is expected to name the 49-year-old Ohio State alumnus and former longtime Buckeyes player and assistant its next head coach as early as Sunday.
Fickell, who is 57-18 in six seasons at Cincinnati, including a 9-3 mark this season, was asked following Friday's home loss to Tulane if he would entertain any suitors if he was pursued this offseason.
