Troy Dannen, the former University of Wisconsin Athletic Director, recently discussed his final job at the university. Dannen served as the Athletic Director from 2018 to 2021, and during his tenure he was responsible for overseeing the Badgers’ athletic programs. During his time in Wisconsin, Dannen helped to create a culture of success and accountability, and he was instrumental in helping the Badgers reach the NCAA Tournament in 2019.
Now, Dannen is leaving Wisconsin and will be taking on a new role as the Athletic Director at the University of North Texas. While the move may come as a surprise to some, Dannen is confident that he can help the Mean Green reach new heights.
In addition to Dannen’s departure, the Badgers will also be facing some changes in their basketball program. Jalen McMillan and Rome Odunze have both announced that they will be transferring from Wisconsin to Oregon. McMillan and Odunze were both key contributors for the Badgers this past season, and their departures will leave a big hole in the lineup.
The Badgers will now have to face the Oregon Ducks without two of their best players. Oregon is one of the top teams in the Pac-12, and they are expected to be a contender for the conference title this season. It will be a tough challenge for Wisconsin, but they are hoping that their new recruits can help them to compete with the Ducks.
Troy Dannen’s departure from Wisconsin marks the end of an era, and it will be interesting to see how the Badgers fare without him. Meanwhile, Jalen McMillan and Rome Odunze will have a chance to prove themselves against one of the best teams in the country when they face Oregon. It will be an exciting matchup, and it will be interesting to see how the Badgers fare against their new opponents.
