New Sponsor JD McCormick Properties to Host Brand-New Halftime Promotion

MADISON, Wis. – University of Wisconsin Athletics and its multimedia rightsholder, LEARFIELD’s Badger Sports Properties, announced today a new relationship with JD McCormick Properties. Notably, one full-time UW student will win rent for one year by the property management company.

The brand-new sponsored promotion will be awarded during the men’s basketball game on December 4, when the Badgers host the Marquette Golden Eagles at 11:30 a.m. All full-time students currently enrolled at University of Wisconsin-Madison – also returning for the 2022-23 academic school year – are eligible to win JD McCormick Properties’ “FREE RENT FOR A YEAR” campaign.

Students can enter the online sweepstakes via this dedicated link at UWBadgers.com through November 26, 2021.
