Like others in the University of Wisconsin athletic department, Mario Morris oversees a team.

Morris' group, however, is more interested in avoiding red ink than wearing red uniforms.

As UW's associate athletic director for business operations, Morris, 44, oversees a department that manages an annual budget in excess of $100 million.

Thanks to recent upgrades and additions, the athletics finance department now has budget development software and a director of data analytics position to help keep the Badgers budget on track.

"We want to make informed decisions so we've added some people that have a lot of capability," Morris said.
