The Wisconsin Badger’s game against the Florida Atlantic Owls at noon ET at Camp Randall will be played scheduled.

There was some concern whether or not the Owls were going to make the trip due to the potential landfall of Hurricane Irma in South Florida. However, Florida Atlantic is scheduled to land in Wisconsin Friday. Here is what Wisconsin had to say in a news release about the situation:

“The health and safety of the student-athletes is always our first priority and our discussions with FAU centered around just that,” Wisconsin Director of Athletics Barry Alvarez said.

“The decision was made to keep the game as originally scheduled since their travel to Madison will not be impacted. If the situation arises where FAU’s travel home is impacted, we are prepared to help in any way possible. We’ve discussed a number of contingencies, from paying for extra nights of hotel rooms to opening up our facilities for them to use for practice, sports medicine care, meals or anything else they may need.

“We’ve seen the devastation that these storms can inflict and our thoughts are with all those who may be affected.”

Good for the Badgers to be so accommodating to the Owls.
