CHICAGO — The Chicago Cubs announced Thursday that they will be giving away UW-Madison hats at one of their April games, and Wisconsinites are confused.
We all know UW-Madison is located in Wisconsin (it's even in the name), so can someone tell us why they're being promoted at a Chicago Cubs game?
The Cubs announced the offer on Twitter. Fans can get a ticket to the Padres-Cubs game on April 21 as well as a "special-edition Cubs and University of Wisconsin-Madison cap."
Bring your Badger pride April 21 and receive a special-edition Cubs + UW Madison cap.

The best part, though, are the replies. Many Wisconsinites are joining the conversation, and they seem a bit... perplexed.
Y'all hacked?

This is fake, right?

This would be a lot less confusing if Illinois didn't have a Big 10 school, but they do. In fact, they have two (Northwestern and University of Illinois).
If you're as confused as we are, but still want to attend the Cubs vs Padres game and get your free hat, click here.
