University of Wisconsin athletic director Chris McIntosh saluted former UW-Madison Chancellor Rebecca Blank for her support of the Badgers athletics program.
Blank died Friday of cancer. She was 67 and announced last July that she had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer and halted plans to take over as president at Northwestern.
“Obviously, her love for the university stood out,” McIntosh said in an exclusive interview with BadgerExtra on Saturday. “Her support of our program. But even closer to home, her support of our student-athletes. She understood the impact of athletics here and what it can do for the people that come through our program. She was there every step of the way to help support us.”
