JOHNSON, Vt.-The Northern Vermont University-Johnson Athletics Department has launched the field for the 2020 BATTLE OF THE BADERS. Throughout these uncertain times, NVU-Johnson athletic administrators, staff and coaches are committed and will continue to provide interactive digital experiences for fans, student-athletes and the greater Northern Vermont University community. Beginning Tuesday, April 7 and running throughout the month of April we will host our own athletics staff digital tournament.
You will be able to cast your vote for each round on our athletics website and social media platforms each week. The field consists of 10 head coaches, five staff members and the department's graduate assistant.
Each week a new release and social media polls with links to each match-up will be released on NVUBadgers.com, Instagram (@nvubadgers), Twitter (@NVUBadgers), and Facebook (NVU-Johnson Athletics). Each round will introduce a new question and our viewers should vote on the most deserving candidate based on the question during that round.
