Ask your parents — everyone did some weird shit in the ’80s.
In the case of University of Wisconsin, the university co-starred in the 1986 comedy “Back to School,” featuring Rodney Dangerfield of the cult classic “Caddyshack”
UW provided the backdrop for much of the college-themed movie’s scenes, with plenty of shots of Bascom Hill and surrounding area visible throughout.

Take a look at the trailer for “Back to School” — see if you can spot the Education Building in the background, as well as the Park Street pedestrian bridge.
You can see the pedestrian bridge, dressed up as the fictional Grand Lakes University, in the shots below.
