Extended through 2020. All the Askren talk will have to wait.

Unbelievable.

[Brett Favre - R.I.P.]

What a fricken joke. 3 more years of finishing in the bottom half of the big ten. Alvarez is an idiot

Extended through 2020. All the Askren talk will have to wait.

The talk here will continue.  A question is how much longer until Barry Davis gets in on the talk and publicly states that "Ben Askren would be an interesting candidate to lead a D1 wrestling program"?  I don't expect Barry to throw his current staff under the bus.  I think Trevor could lead the Badgers and get the current results.  I think Ben Askren has a solid chance to take Wisconsin to a top 5 program.

The best part of this is it is not just "talk".  Askren has an interest!

Congrats to Coach Davis.  Hope nothing but the best for him and his program.

If it is like any pro sport, that extention usually comes with a your fired pretty quick 

Good luck to BD. He got a nice rexruiting class this year and last. Lets see how they do.

I will follow from a far, not closely but I wish them all the best.

[Wisconsin Wrestling Fan]

Congratulations Barry !

I'm a huge Ben Askren fan, but there is no way he makes UW a top 5 program. All about the BS on the forum but be realistic.

Right, because Askren has never accomplished things when people said "no way". 

Realistic to average top 5?  Quite the reach.  Realistic to average better than BD's 18th?  Pretty much a lock.

Once again Barry Alvarez proving he could care less for UW wrestling.

There was no way BD was not going to get the extension.
The team was the 8th best team in the conference (Rutgers tied), but we did have an NCAA finalist, which is huge.
