Matt Lepay was inducted into the Wisconsin Broadcasters Hall of Fame on Friday.
Lepay has been the voice of the Wisconsin Badgers for more than 30 years — having called men’s basketball since 1988 and football since 1994. His storied career includes six Rose Bowls (1998, 1999, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2019), five Big Ten football championship games (2011, 2012, 2016, 2017 and 2019), three Final Fours (2000, 2014 and 2015) and one basketball national championship game (2015).

The broadcasting legend in the state enters a Hall of Fame that was created back in 1989 “to honor those broadcasters who have devoted their careers to broadcasting and its development in Wisconsin, to recognize their outstanding service to broadcasting, their communities, and their state, over at least a fifteen-year career in the industry, at least ten of which were served in Wisconsin.”
Other members of the Wisconsin Broadcasters Hall of Fame include longtime voice of the Milwaukee Brewers Bob Uecker, and the Green Bay Packers Radio Network’s Larry McCarren and Wayne Larrivee.
