Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and his girlfriend, Olivia Munn, were there to enjoy the action once again.
Rodgers went down to the court to celebrate Wisconsin’s victory with the team, but he refused to do any interviews.
This did not sit well with CBS Sports college football reporter Dennis Dodd, who called him out on Twitter for supposedly not having a court pass and refusing to interview. Dodd also got into it with users who defended the quarterback.
Dear Wisco fan: If it was about the Badgers, then why was A Rodgers on court? Credentialed media only.

@mattinlincoln No everyone on court should be ALLOWED to be there.

Rodgers played quarterback for Cal and never attended Wisconsin, so this was also used as ammunition against him for rooting for the Badgers.
The reigning NFL MVP caught wind of Dodd’s comments and took to Twitter to rip him a new one, and he pointed out that he did in fact have a pass for access to the court.
To the biggest twitter crybaby of the night, I had a pass to be on the court. Send your complaints to the A.D. #quitcrying #youreajoke

Also with interview requests, sometimes the answer is yes and sometimes it’s no. I’m not there for u, I’m there to support my friends n UW.
