Wisconsin extends Bielema’s contract through 2016 season
Wisconsin extended the contract of coach Bret Bielema through the end of the 2016 season.
Bielema, who got a raise to $2.5 million last February, had his five-year deal extended through Jan. 31, 2017. Bielema led the Badgers to their first back-to-back Rose Bowls in a dozen years.
Wisconsin lost to Oregon 45-38 on Jan. 2.
The Badgers are 60-19 in six seasons since Bielema was promoted from defensive coordinator to replace the retiring Barry Alvarez.
