Director of Athletics Barry Alvarez

Barry Alvarez is in his 16th year as Director of Athletics at the University of Wisconsin in 201819, and his 14th without the additional title of head football coach. Alvarez served as A.D. and football coach from 2004-05.

Wisconsin has enjoyed remarkable success during Alvarez's tenure at the head of the athletic department, winning a combined 14 team national titles and 62 conference regular-season or tournament crowns since he took over. In 201718, he earned Under Armour Athletic Director of the Year honors.

In Alvarez's 15 previous seasons as A.D., Wisconsin has finished among the top 30 in the NACDA Director's Cup 14 times, including 16thplace finishes in 2016-17 and 2006-07 (2ndbest in school history). Six different programs have won national titles during Alvarez's tenure, including four in the magical 2005-06 season. Fourteen different teams have been crowned as conference champions, including five in each of the 2005-06, 2006-07, 2007-08, 2012-13 and 2014-15 seasons.

Alvarez has overseen an unprecedented run of success in football and men's basketball. From 2002-03 to 2016-17, UW appeared in a bowl game and the NCAA men's basketball tournament 15 consecutive seasons. That is the longest streak in NCAA history, surpassing Texas' run of 12 straight years from 1998-99 to 2009-10.

More than 1,700 student-athletes have earned Academic All-Big Ten honors in Alvarez's 15-year tenure. Since 2009-10, UW student-athletes have achieved at least a 3.0 cumulative GPA. At the end of spring 2018, the cumulative GPA for all student-athletes was 3.15. In the latest APR rankings, a school-record 15 sports recorded a perfect single-year score of 1,000.

Seven years ago, under Alvarez's direction, UW Athletics created the Badgers Give Back program. A community relations platform meant to provide direction for the department's community projects, streamline the request process for appearances, increase publicity of student-athlete outreach efforts and ensure compliance with NCAA regulations, it has become a staple of the student-athlete experience at UW. In 2017-18, more than 600 student-athletes participated in Badgers Give Back activities.

Alvarez was appointed in the spring of 2008 as one of the chairs of the NCAA's Football Academic Enhancement Group, which was formed to review and recommend improvements for the APR rating. He also serves on the NCAA Football Issues Committee and was a member of the College Football Playoff Committee in its first three years. In addition, Alvarez was named "Person of the Year" by the Big Ten Club of Southern California in 2008. Alvarez was voted into the state of Wisconsin Athletic Hall of Fame

and the Rose Bowl Hall of Fame in 2009, the UW Athletics Hall of Fame in 2010, and the Orange Bowl Hall of Fame in 2016.

Elected to the College Football Hall of Fame in 2010, Alvarez guided Wisconsin's football fortunes for 16 seasons (1990-2005). He has been at the forefront of the revival of the Badger athletic program during his entire tenure in Madison. He piloted Wisconsin to three Big Ten and Rose Bowl titles (including back-toback in 1998-99) en route to becoming the winningest football coach in school history (119-744 record). In December, 2012 he returned to the sidelines and guided the Badgers against Stanford in the 2013 Rose Bowl. Two years later, he came back one last time to lead UW to a 34-31 upset win over Auburn in the 2015 Outback Bowl.

Alvarez was just the 10th coach in Big Ten history to win 100 games at one conference institution. The 1993 national coach of the year, he was a two-time (1993 and 1998) Big Ten Coach of the Year and a finalist for ESPN's coach of the decade (1990s) honor. He received the Victor Award's 1999 National Coach of the Year accolade and was the 2004 AFCA Region 3 Coach of the Year. Alvarez also was awarded the 2017 Paul "Bear" Bryant Lifetime Achievement Award.

Alvarez retired from coaching at the conclusion of the 2005 season in order to concentrate solely on running the Division of Intercollegiate Athletics. He has made a lasting impression on the Wisconsin sports scene. His well-documented turnaround of the once-moribund Badger football program has helped to allow the school's entire athletic department to blossom into one of the finest and most respected in college sports.

When Alvarez arrived in Madison in 1990, Wisconsin had compiled a 9-36 record during the previous four seasons and attendance at Camp Randall Stadium had dipped to an average of 41,734 per game (54 percent of capacity). The program sorely needed a boost and got it when new Director of Athletics Pat Richter hired Alvarez from Notre Dame, where he had been an assistant coach under Lou Holtz.

Over the next 16 seasons Alvarez transformed the football program and, subsequently, the culture of athletics at the UW. The success of the football program ignited and heightened interest in Badgers sports. Alvarez's list of accomplishments at Wisconsin is remarkable. Consider just a few of the most notable:

WISCONSIN MEN'S BASKETBALL | 201819 RECORD BOOK

? winningest coach in school history (record of 119-74-4, .614)

? coached three Big Ten and Rose Bowl champions

? only Big Ten coach to win the Rose Bowl in consecutive seasons

? just the 10th coach in Big Ten history with 100 victories at one conference school

? coached five national award winners, including Ron Dayne (Heisman, Doak Walker, Maxwell), Jamar Fletcher (Jim Thorpe) and Kevin Stemke (Ray Guy)

? guided UW to back-to-back Big Ten titles in 1998 and 1999 (hadn't happened at Wisconsin since 1896-97)

? named national coach of the year in 1993; Big Ten Coach of the Year in 1993 and 1998; Victor Award's 1999 National Coach of the Year; and 2004 AFCA Region 3 Coach of the Year.

Alvarez's coaching career began at the high school level. He served as an assistant at Lincoln (Neb.) Northeast from 1971-73 before taking over as head coach at Lexington (Neb.) from 1974-75. His last prep coaching stop was at Mason City (Iowa), where he was head coach from 1976-78 and won a Class 4A state title in his final year.

Iowa's Hayden Fry hired Alvarez as an assistant coach in 1979. The Hawkeyes played in six bowl games (two Rose Bowls) during Alvarez's eight years in Iowa City, compiling a 61-33-1 mark in the process. Alvarez's standout player with the Hawkeyes was LB Larry Station, a two-time AllAmerican and two-time Academic All-American.

Alvarez left Iowa after the 1986 season to become linebackers coach at Notre Dame. He was promoted (linebackers to defensive coordinator to assistant head coach) by Holtz each of his three seasons as the Fighting Irish went 32-5 and won the 1988 national title.

Alvarez grew up in Langeloth, Pa., a small town among the coal mines and steel mills in western Pennsylvania. He starred as a prep linebacker and went on to play at Nebraska (1965-67) for legendary head coach Bob Devaney. Alvarez was the leading tackler for the 1967 Cornhuskers, who led the nation in total defense and created a schoolrecord 40 turnovers. Alvarez played in both the Sugar and Orange bowls at Nebraska.

Alvarez is a 1969 graduate of Nebraska, where he played linebacker and went on to earn his master's degree. He received a Distinguished Alumnus Award from his alma mater in 2003.

Alvarez and his wife, Cindy, were co-campaign chairs in the effort to bring a Gilda's Club (a free support center for families dealing with cancer) to Madison. In addition, Alvarez serves on the Board of Directors of the MACC Fund (Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer).

Barry and Cindy are the parents of daughters Dawn and Stacy and son Chad (wife Stephanie). They are grandparents to Joe and Jake Ferguson; Grace and Jackson Delzer; and Scarlett, Barry John Thomas, Anson and Hadley Alvarez.

Long considered one of the top assistant coaches in the game, Gard served as an assistant at Wisconsin for 14-plus seasons, including the final seven as the associate head coach. During that time, Gard served as the Badgers' recruiting coordinator in addition to on-floor coaching duties, opponent scouting and game preparation, and the constructing of future game schedules. He was also the director of the Badger Boys Basketball Summer Camps.

In 2015, Gard was ranked as the fourth-best "X&O" assistant coach in college basketball by . In 2012, Gard was named No. 3 on the list of top assistant coaches in college basketball according to Bleacher Report. FOX Sports also listed Gard No. 10 on its list of the nation's top 25 assistant coaches.

"Greg knows why we do drills the way we do them," Hall of Fame coach Bo Ryan said in 2014. "Why we do things in a game the way we do them. He understands the personalities and the interactions of the players. Greg's a guy that knows the teams in the league, works extremely hard at scheduling, which is a very difficult job. Scouting reports. He just does it all."

Gard's 13th and 14th seasons in Madison were some of the program's most memorable. He helped guide the Badgers to back-to-back Final Four appearances in 2014 and 2015, and in 2015 UW reached its first national championship game since 1941. Wisconsin shattered the school's single-season wins record (36) in 2015 and became one of just 10 teams with at least 36 wins in Division I history. In 2014, UW finished 30-8 and won at least 30 games for just the third time in school history.

In fact, Gard has been on the bench for each of the top 12 winningest seasons at Wisconsin.

Gard helped pilot the Badgers to four Big Ten regular season titles and three Big Ten tournament championships, most recently winning both crowns in 2015. UW has made the NCAA tournament in each of Gard's first 14 seasons, advancing to seven Sweet 16s, three Elite Eights and two Final Fours.

Gard's first two seasons as head coach at Wisconsin continued a trend of lofty academic success, placing 15 players on the Academic AllBig Ten list. Over his 17 years in Madison, UW has boasted a total of 63 Academic All-Big Ten honors, trailing only Purdue and Northwestern over that span.

Prior to coming to Wisconsin in 2001, Gard spent the previous two seasons as Ryan's assistant at UW-Milwaukee, where he had responsibilities in scouting, summer basketball camp operations and on-floor coaching, as well as involvement with recruiting.
