Welcome to BadgerNews.Net ("the Site"). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.
The Site is an independently operated editorial and opinion platform covering Wisconsin Badgers athletics. All content on the Site — including articles, commentary, AI-generated images, poll questions, the "Hot Seat" meter, and the "Fan Condition Report" — represents the personal opinions of the Site's author. The Site is not a news organization, is not credentialed media, and does not purport to provide insider information or break news.
The Site contains strong language, satirical content, adult humor, and editorial opinions that some readers may find objectionable. The "Fan Condition Report" page may feature AI-generated images that are not appropriate for all audiences. By using the Site, you acknowledge that you are aware of and accept the nature of this content. The Site is not intended for children.
All original content on the Site, including written articles, editorial analysis, site design, the Hot Seat scoring methodology, and original graphics, is the property of BadgerNews.Net and its author, Corey Bennett, unless otherwise noted. You may share links to the Site freely and quote brief excerpts with attribution. You may not reproduce, republish, or redistribute full articles or substantial portions of Site content without prior written permission.
The Site frequently references, cites, quotes, and links to reporting, statistics, and other content produced by third-party journalists and publications. All such content is credited to its original source. The Site's use of third-party content is limited to commentary, criticism, and editorial analysis, which the author believes constitutes fair use under U.S. copyright law (17 U.S.C. § 107). All rights to third-party content remain with their respective owners.
The Site offers interactive polls for entertainment and engagement purposes. Poll results are informal, unscientific, and presented for entertainment only. The Site reserves the right to remove, modify, or reset poll data at any time and for any reason.
The "Hot Seat" feature uses a satirical scoring formula to rate coaching performance. The formula, methodology, and resulting scores are editorial opinion presented in a structured format. They are not predictive, not endorsed by any institution, and should not be interpreted as anything other than one fan's structured take.
The Site may feature AI-generated images (including but not limited to the Fan Condition Report). These images are created for satirical, editorial, and entertainment purposes. They do not depict real events and should not be interpreted as photographs or factual representations.
You agree not to use the Site to:
