The historic Wisconsin Athletic Hall of Fame, established in 1951 to celebrate the state’s greatest athletic icons, today unveiled new signage outside downtown Milwaukee’s Walk of Fame featuring the members of the Hall’s 2016 induction class: Green Bay Packers’ all-time leading receiver Donald Driver, and Wisconsin Badgers Basketball’s all-time winningest coach Bo Ryan.
