INTERVIEW POLICYDuring the season, Coach Bo Pelini is available in person

for media interviews at the Monday news conference and on the field after practice on Thursday. Coach Pelini is also available each Tuesday on the Big Ten teleconference (11:24 a.m.). Please contact the Big Ten office at (847) 696-1010 for details. Any other interviews with Pelini must be arranged through the Media Relations Office at least one day in advance.

Nebraska players are available for interviews in person or by telephone on Monday during Nebraska's press conference and Tuesday after practice. Player interviews can occasionally be set up for other times with at least one day advance notice to the Media Relations Office. All requests for player and coach interviews must go through the Media Relations Office.

Media should contact Keith Mann regarding assistant coach interview availability.

No interviews are to be conducted in the locker room, training room, weight room or Nebraska Student Life Complex. Freshmen and redshirt freshmen are not available for interviews until they have participated in a game.

DAILY PRACTICESDuring the season, practices are normally conducted

either in Memorial Stadium, in the Hawks Championship Center, or on the Ed and Joyanne Gass Practice Fields northeast of the stadium, beginning at approximately 3:30 p.m. Practices are generally closed to the media and public. Media wishing to interview Nebraska players or coaches after practice should come to the designated location based on the practice site shortly before the end of practice. Media relations staff will escort media to the practice field at the conclusion of practice.

Photographers and videographers should contact media relations regarding days and times to shoot practice. Media are asked to remain on the sideline or behind the fence at Memorial Stadium during this time. When on the Gass practice fields, media may not stand between the two practice fields during this time. No interviews are to be conducted during this time period and these segments may not be aired or streamed live on television or the internet. Live practice reports of any kind are not permitted from the practice site (social media, radio, blogs, etc.). Media will be asked to leave the practice site to use their cell phones or mobile devices.

Contact the Media Relations Office for the exact time and location of each day's practice.

POSTGAME INTERVIEWSNebraska’s locker room is closed after games, both home

and away, but Coach Bo Pelini and requested players will be available for interviews following a brief cooling-off period. For home games, only coaches, players and staff members will be admitted to the tunnel and locker room after the game, but Coach Pelini and requested personnel will be brought to the interview room (Ndamukong Suh Strength Complex). Admittance to the interview area will be by media credential only. Media should access the area via the door on the northeast corner of the Osborne Athletic Complex. For away games, the best available interview area will be used. Interview requests, home and away, will be taken by Keith Mann at the end of the third quarter. Non-requested players making significant plays in the fourth quarter will be added as needed.

Nebraska players and coaches will not do interviews on the field after the game.

The visiting locker room at Memorial Stadium is located underneath the South Stadium. The visiting team interview area is just off the main tunnel leading to the visitor’s locker room.

Media planning to carry the press conference live should request permission from the Nebraska Media Relations Office before doing so. If media are planning to do live interviews on the field after the game, they should make advance arrangements with the Media Relations Office, as well as contact Scott Guthrie in HuskerVision (402-472-4645).

SIDELINE POLICIESThe Big Ten Conference maintains a strict sideline control

policy in an effort to keep the playing area as safe as possible. All sideline photographers must have a photo vest and a photo pass, and both must be clearly visible. Vests will be issued beginning three hours before game time. Vests will be issued to media members with a photo pass who will be shooting still photos or video during the game. Media without a photo vest may access the sideline during pre-game and in the final five minutes of the game. Special exceptions to this also include interviews with special guests on the field at halftime, quarter breaks, etc. All other media should work from their assigned location on Level 6 or Level 7.

Davison, a former Husker, joins Sharpe in the booth for his eighth season as a color analyst. A member of the 1997 national championship team, Davison co-hosts the Husker Game Day Pregame Show. He is also a color analyst for Nebraska men’s basketball broadcasts and contributes to Sports Nightly.

The third member of the broadcast team is Grindle, who handles the Husker sideline, co-hosts Husker Game Day and handles the Locker Room Show, interviewing coaches and players after the game. Grindle also serves as a play-by-play talent for baseball and co-host for the Tim Miles TV Show.

Former Husker All-American quarterback Steve Taylor will co-host the Husker Game Day Show with Sharpe and will co-host Big Red Reaction. The final member of the broadcast team is Matt Coatney, who will host Big Red Reaction and helps anchor postgame studio coverage.

In addition to unmatched game coverage, Sports Nightly airs Monday-Friday during the year and features a weekly Coach Pelini and Husker assistant coaches’ radio show that can be heard statewide on the network during the season.

All Nebraska games and coaches shows can also be heard on the internet at Huskers.com and on the Huskers App for iOS and Android devices.

Known as one of intercollegiate sports’ most successful undertakings, the Big Ten boasts a lineage of legendary names and an ongoing tradition of developing strong leaders. Even in its infancy, the conference established itself as the preeminent collection of institutions in the nation, where the pursuit of academic excellence prevailed as the definitive goal.

The history of the Big Ten traces back nearly 120 years to the Palmer House hotel in Chicago, where on January 11, 1895, then-Purdue president James H. Smart and leaders from the University of Chicago, University of Illinois, University of Michigan, University of Minnesota, Northwestern University and University of Wisconsin set out to organize and develop principles for the regulation of intercollegiate athletics.

At that meeting, a blueprint for the administration of college athletics under the direction of appointed faculty representatives was outlined. The presidents’ first known action “restricted eligibility for athletics to bonafide, full-time students who were not delinquent in their studies.” That important legislation, along with other legislation that would follow in the coming years, served as the primary building block for amateur intercollegiate athletics.

On February 8, 1896, one faculty member from each of those seven universities met at the same Palmer House and officially established the mechanics of the conference, which was officially incorporated as the “Intercollegiate Conference Athletic Association” in 1905.

Indiana University and the State University of Iowa became the eighth and ninth members in 1899. In 1908, Michigan briefly withdrew its membership, and in 1912 Ohio State University joined the conference, bringing its membership total back to nine. Upon Michigan’s return in 1917, the conference was first referred to as the “Big Ten,” and that name was eventually incorporated in 1987.

As the 1900s opened, faculty representatives established rules for intercollegiate athletics that were novel for the time. As early as 1904, the faculty approved legislation that required eligible athletes to meet entrance requirements and to have completed a full year’s work, along with having one year of residence.

In 1901, the first Big Ten Championship event was staged when the outdoor track and field championships were held at the University of Chicago. The debut event marked what is now a staple of conference competition. Today, the Big Ten sponsors 26 sports, 13 for men and 13 for women, including the debut of men’s ice hockey as an official conference sport this academic year. Beginning with the 2014-15 academic year, men’s and women’s lacrosse will be added as the conference’s 27th and- 28th official sports, furthering the conference’s commitment to broad-based programming and providing opportunities to more student-athletes than any conference in the country.

One of the conference’s proudest traditions began in 1902 when Michigan took on Stanford in the Rose Bowl Game. Although Big Ten teams only appeared in Pasadena twice before the Big Ten began annually sending a conference representative to the game in 1946, Michigan’s appearance in 1902 cultivated a relationship that has endured for more than a century.

Coupling the academic goals set forth by the leaders of the charter members of the conference and their steadfast commitment to athletics, the conference instituted the Medal of Honor in 1915. It is awarded annually by each conference institution to a student of the graduating class who has attained the greatest proficiency in scholarship and athletics. It is the most prestigious honor a conference student-athlete can receive and celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2014.

In 1922, Major John L. Griffith became the conference’s first “Commissioner of Athletics”. Griffith was the first of five men to assume the role of commissioner in the conference’s history, followed by Kenneth L. “Tug” Wilson in 1945, Bill Reed in 1961, Wayne Duke in 1971 and current commissioner James E. Delany in 1989.

After nearly 30 years as a 10-member conference, the conference consolidated to a nine-school league when the University of Chicago formally withdrew its membership in 1946. Michigan State College (now Michigan State University) was added to the Big Ten three years later, bringing the number of affiliated conference schools to 10 once again.

In 1955, the Big Ten formulated a revenue-sharing model designed to pool all football television rights of its members and share those proceeds equally. The conference and its members continue to utilize a revenue-sharing model, dividing media rights, bowl payouts and other profits among all conference institutions.

In one of Duke’s first actions as commissioner, he oversaw the adoption of the Black Advisory Commission in 1972, designed to study conference programs and make suggestions which would further Big Ten objectives. The Advisory Commission enlists student-athletes to serve as liaisons to the NCAA’s Diversity and Inclusion Department, the Big Ten Student-Athlete Advisory Commission and other organizations.

In 1981, the conference’s presidents and chancellors endorsed a proposal that enabled universities to affiliate their women’s intercollegiate programs with the conference, and the first conference championships for women were staged that fall. The Big Ten was the first conference to voluntarily adopt male and female participation goals after launching its Gender Equity Action Plan in 1992.

In December of 1989, the conference agreed in principle to invite Pennsylvania State University for membership. On June 4, 1990, the Council of Presidents officially voted to integrate Penn State into the conference, giving the Big Ten 11 members.

In 2004, the Big Ten implemented a pilot program of instant replay for college football. Following the season, the conference forwarded replay proposals to the NCAA regarding the future use of instant replay, where it approved country-wide testing in 2005. In 2006, the NCAA approved the use of instant replay for all conferences.

In 2006, Commissioner Delany announced the creation of the first conference-owned television network, a 20-year agreement with Fox Cable Networks to create what would become the Big Ten Network (BTN). BTN launched on August 30, 2007, and is now in its seventh year of operation. With more than 53 million subscribers in the U.S. and Canada - and more outside the Big Ten region than inside - BTN allows fans to see their teams compete regardless of where they live.

On June 11, 2010, the Big Ten Council of Presidents/Chancellors (COPC) approved a formal membership application by the University of Nebraska, expanding the conference to 12 institutions. Nebraska officially joined the Big Ten Conference on July 1, 2011.

The conference expanded its footprint further in 2012 when the COPC approved formal membership applications from the University of Maryland and Rutgers University on November

THE BIG TEN CONFERENCE

19 and 20, respectively. Maryland and Rutgers became Big Ten members for the 2014-15 academic year, giving the conference almost 9,500 student-athletes on nearly 350 teams in 42 different sports.

On June 3, 2013, the Big Ten announced that Johns Hopkins University had been accepted as the conference’s first sport affiliate member. Johns Hopkins’ addition in men’s lacrosse only beginning with the 2014-15 academic year will give the Big Ten six institutions sponsoring the sport, allowing the debut of men’s lacrosse as an official conference sport and building on the Big Ten’s tradition of broad-based sports competition.

In the fall of 2013, the Big Ten opened a new conference headquarters and meeting center in Rosemont, Ill. The newly constructed building is located 10 minutes from O’Hare Airport and has been designed to fully service the needs of more than 100 Big Ten and Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC) related committees and coaches groups. Part of the new facility includes the Big Ten Experience - an interactive museum that will highlight all things Big Ten, from academics and athletics to high-impact alums, history, traditions, highly-acclaimed campus architecture, and life-changing research.

Delany and his staff manage nearly 1,000 broadcast events, provide legislative and compliance services, manage 26 different sport championships and tournaments, provide staff services to over 400 coaching and administrative personnel on Big Ten campuses, and service media and fans needs and interests for information about the Big Ten Conference.

Nearly 120 years after its inception, the Big Ten remains a national leader in intercollegiate athletics on and off the field. Big Ten programs have combined to win nearly 340 team national championships and consistently take home individual honors for athletic and academic accomplishments, fulfilling the Big Ten’s mission of honoring legends and building leaders.

THE DEVANEY SOCIETYAchieving greatness in both the classroom and on the playing field has long been a goal

of the University of Nebraska. Our nation-leading 314 CoSIDA Academic All-Americans (as of the start of the 2014-15 academic year) and 25 team national titles reflect the manner in which we strive to achieve to the highest level.

Rising costs have made funding these athletic scholarships increasingly difficult. To help offset the expenses, the University of Nebraska established an athletic scholarship endowment fund to honor Hall of Fame Football Coach Bob Devaney.

Follow in the footsteps of Coach Devaney and commit to the long-term success of Nebraska Athletics. We are sincerely grateful to those who committed to our future stability and established a Devaney Society Scholarship for male and female student-athletes.

On behalf of the University of Nebraska student-athletes, coaches and Athletics Department staff, I would like to express my appreciation for your continued support of our entire athletics program.

The University of Nebraska is known for its loyal, passionate, and knowledgeable fans. It is this type of fervent support that not only assists Nebraska student-athletes in reaching their full potential on and off the playing field, but also draws the next generation of student-athletes to our campus. However, as a University of Nebraska booster, please remember that you are also required to know and follow NCAA regulations.

Our coaches, student-athletes, and Athletics Department staff members are knowledgeable about NCAA regulations because they receive on-going education. But, to truly attain the excellence the University of Nebraska strives for, we also need our supporters to be educated about these same regulations. In turn, you will be assisting us with protecting the eligibility and well-being of our current and future student-athletes.

Please review the information listed below, which includes some of the most important and frequently asked questions about NCAA regulations for boosters.
