Wisconsin has extended the contract of football coach Bret Bielema through the end of the 2016 season.
Bielema, who got a raise to $2.5 million last February, had his five-year deal extended through Jan. 31, 2017. Bielema led the Badgers to their first back-to-back Rose Bowls in a dozen years.
The Badgers lost to Oregon, 45-38 on Jan. 2.
Wisconsin is 60-19 in six seasons since Bielema was promoted from defensive coordinator to replace the retiring Barry Alvarez.

Gov. Mark Dayton is telling the owners of the Minnesota Vikings that the team’s new stadium will have to be at the Metrodome site if a stadium bill is to pass the Legislature this year.
Dayton spokeswoman Katharine Tinucci told the Associated Press that the governor gave that message Monday to team owner Zygi Wilf. Tinucci says she can’t say if the Metrodome is Dayton’s favorite site for a new Vikings stadium. But she says for practical reasons, Dayton believes the Metrodome is the site if a stadium bill is to pass this year.
The Vikings have said they prefer a Ramsey County proposal to build a $1.1 billion stadium in Arden Hills.
Vikings vice president Lester Bagley has not issued any direct comments on Dayton’s position. The Vikings’ lease at the Metrodome has expired meaning the team is free to move out of the state if they find an alternate location that is preferable.

It was a big weekend for hockey in Minnesota; and the athletes that took part weren’t only playing to win, they were playing to help a wounded player.
This year’s Hockey Blast Minnesota, a high school tournament which took place Sunday, benefited Jack Jablonski, the Benilde-St. Margaret’s student who suffered a paralyzing injury after being checked into the boards last month. The teams that played in the event weren’t just from the Twin Cities, some came from as far away as St. Cloud and Fargo. During the tournament, students from Benilde-St. Margaret’s sold bracelets to help raise money for Jablonski’s family.
On Saturday, Fox Sports North featured Jablonski’s story during a telethon. Jablonski’s father, Mike Jablonski, said the money raised will be used for his son’s rehabilitation. Jablonski told FSN he doesn’t care if he walks again, he just wants to skate.
For the first time in six years, Hockey Day Minnesota’s tournament had to be indoors because of the effect warm weather has had on the ice.
KSTP reports that Hockey Blast Minnesota helped raise $50,000 for Jablonski’s medical bills.

The Vikings have named former Colts DBs coach Alan Williams as defensive coordinator and Brendan Daly defensive line coach.
Williams spent the past decade in Indianapolis’ organization, teaching the Tampa-2 scheme to defensive backs such as Bob Sanders, Antoine Bethea, and Melvin Bullitt. Leslie Frazier also spent two years working with the Colts in the mid-2000s so both are in the Tony Dungy coaching tree. This means the Vikings will be staying in a base 4-3 defense with Cover 2 principles in the secondary.
Williams received a two-year contract. Mike Singletary is being retained as “special assistant” to the head coach.
Former defensive coordinator Fred Pagac will return with the team as LB’s coach in 2012.
