"Hugh Vernon Richter" is the former University of Wisconsin–Madison athletic director and American football player. He is responsible for hiring Barry Alvarez from Notre Dame Fighting Irish football/Notre Dame in 1990 as head American football/football coach, restoring the Wisconsin Badgers/Badgers football program to national prominence, as well as basketball coaches Dick Bennett and Bo Ryan, both of whom reached the "Final Four" of the NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship/NCAA Tournament for the only times in program history since the school's only tournament championship in 1941 (in 2000 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament/2000 and 2014 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament/2014, respectively).
