Earlier in the day on Tuesday, UW officials announced Alvarez will receive additional compensation of $118,500 for coaching UW in the Rose Bowl.    The funds will come from the $1-million contract buyout of Bielema.  The buyout is being picked up by the University of Arkansas.

Alvarez would also be eligible for a $50,000 bonus if the Badgers win the Rose Bowl.
