Statement about Barry Alvarez from Donna E. Shalala

—President, University of Miami; former chancellor, University of Wisconsin-Madison

"I can't say enough about the role Barry played in the success of the athletic department. His energy and brilliant organizational skills were key to UW-Madison's return to Big Ten football prominence. Even after I left Madison for Washington, I enjoyed following the Badger program. I'm proud to call him a friend and I know UW-Madison found the right man for the job."
