The Wisconsin Badgers are being forced to miss yet another game.
Tuesday’s decision to cancel Purdue’s game against the Badgers at Camp Randall Stadium has Wisconsin on the verge of disqualification for the Big Ten Championship game.
The canceled contests against the Boilermakers and the Nebraska Cornhuskers can’t be made up and conference rules say a team has to play at least six games to be eligible.
All football activities in Madison are on hold as Athletic Director Barry Alvarez reports there are 27 active COVID-19 cases in the U-W program, 15 athletes and 12 staff members.
The only way the six-game requirement could change is if enough conference schools are forced to cancel enough games. That possibility isn’t close to happening right now.
