Does Wisconsin play today? Schedule, time, channel for next Badgers football game

Does Wisconsin play today? Schedule, time, channel for next Badgers football game image

It's looking to be another rough go for the Badgers.

Wisconsin has been a topic of conversation since the program put the axe on long-time head coach Paul Chryst in favor of Cincinnati's Luke Fickell in 2022. The Badgers have yet to benefit from Fickell's presence, and even suffered the school's first losing season in 23 years last fall. 

Now, the pressure is mounting. Wisconsin has one of the toughest schedules in the nation this season, but is still struggling to compete with lower-caliber teams. The Badgers fell to Maryland last weekend at home, 27-10. Can the program find its way back to dominance of decades past?

Here's what's next for the Badgers.
