Former Badgers coach Bret Bielma announced he would be leaving the team yesterday, leaving his status for the Rose Bowl in doubt. According to a report in the Madison State Journal, Badgers football team captains approached Wisconsin Athletic Director Alvarez requesting that he coach the team in the bowl game - an offer Alvarez accepted.
