Regents to consider allowing sale of alcohol at athletic events

LINCOLN, Neb. -- The Nebraska Board of Regents will consider allowing the sale of alcohol at Husker athletic events.

The discussion will take place at the Board of Regents meeting scheduled for next Friday.

The Big Ten Wrestling Championships are scheduled for March 5-6 at Pinnacle Bank Arena, which would be the first event to be considered for the proposed change.

University president Ted Carter said that the wrestling championships are the only event being considered right now, and there are no plans at the moment to introduce alcohol at any other Husker events.

A board resolution in 1999 prohibited the sale of alcohol on University of Nebraska property.
