An impromptu snowball fight has been occurring throughout the contest. While the frosty fun initially involved the students and other fans, it since included the Wisconsin cheerleaders.
Wisconsin's student section is apparently bored enough by the game that there's a snowball fight breaking out over there. #Entertainment

Reportedly, UW fans and students began throwing snowballs at their own cheerleaders. As a result, the beautiful bastions of support have since departed the field.
There's no word on why this ultimately occurred, other than stemming from potential boredom.
