Barstool's 'Big Cat' declares state of emergency for Wisconsin Badgers football program

The letter from McIntosh pledged to provide more investment into the football program and seemed to be another public vote of confidence in Luke Fickell.

Katz echoed the voice of many Badgers fans who were not happy with the messaging from the athletic department.

He thinks McIntosh investing more money into Fickell is only going to extend the decline of the football program and make it even harder to dig out of if they continue to struggle.

Katz said that he knows McIntosh and Fickell personally, and they're good people, but he doesn't believe they're the right people for their respective jobs at Wisconsin.

He's concerned about them doubling down on the current leadership structure of the program that isn't working, and he called on chancellor Jennifer Mnookin to not let things continue to get worse for Badgers football.

Whether anyone in the athletic department will listen to him is a separate question, but at the very least, Katz is amplifying the concerns shared by Wisconsin fans across the country.
