The Nebraska athletic department has 10 representatives on the Big Ten Conference's Anti-Hate and Anti-Racism Coalition, which was officially announced Monday.
The coalition was first announced June 1 in an open letter from Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren. The coalition's aim is to "seek tangible ways to actively and constructively combat racism and hate around the world while also empowering student-athletes to express their rights to free speech and peaceful protest," according to a news release announcing the coalition.
Each Big Ten school has between six (Wisconsin) and 14 (Michigan, Maryland) representatives, which include athletes, coaches and administrators.
