An Open Letter to UW Chancellor Rebecca Blank & Athletic Director Barry Alvarez

We look down onto the court and see the Ab Nichols floor, named after the 1950s two-time all-Big Ten Conference guard and program philanthropist. We look up and see Frank Kaminsky’s No. 44 jersey, where it hangs in honor next to Nichols’ No. 8. And that’s it. The only two players who’ve been given that honor in the 100-plus years of Badger Men’s Basketball are white.
