Alvarez: Wisconsin Has 'A Handle' on COVID-19 Outbreak Ahead of Michigan Game

Wisconsin Badgers athletic director Barry Alvarez said Monday the school is "confident that we have a handle on the situation" after a COVID-19 outbreak within the football team led to the cancellation of games against Nebraska and Purdue the past two weekends.

The plan is to play Saturday's scheduled matchup against Michigan.

"We had no new positives on Tuesday and Wednesday, which was a great sign," he added. "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.
