LINCOLN, Neb. -- If Nebraskas Michael Rose-Ivey and teammates want to kneel during the national anthem again, their next opportunity will be the Nov. 5 game at Ohio State.Rose-Ivey, Mohamed Barry and DaiShon Neal each took a knee on the sideline as the anthem was sung at Northwestern last week. Their action sparked statewide debate about whether it was an appropriate setting for their protest of police violence and racial injustice, and Rose-Ivey will meet with the states governor next week to discuss the issue.But teams are in the locker room during the anthem at Nebraskas Memorial Stadium, so the next time the Huskers are in a game where players are on the field as it plays will be when they go to Ohio.Unlike in the NFL, where players are on the field for the anthem, the common practice in college football is for teams to be in their locker rooms.

The only exception was the first game following the 9/11 attacks.At Nebraska, the band plays the anthem on the field and then forms a corridor for the team to run through at the completion of the Tunnel Walk. The tradition started in 1994, with the team shown on the video boards as it exits the locker room and walks through the tunnel to the field as the Alan Parsons Projects instrumental piece Sirius plays.Many schools use smoke machines and other mechanisms as part of their pregame routines to get the team and the crowd fired up. To pause a couple minutes after a dramatic team entry could be a buzzkill.With our whole pregame atmosphere and Tunnel Walk, theres just never been any kind of talk about changing it, Witty said.In the Big Ten, eight of the 14 schools have the teams on the field for the anthem. All Big 12, Pac-12 and Southeastern Conference teams are in their locker rooms during the anthem before home games.

Ablauf said most have agreed.Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said the team has discussed social issues in meetings, but no player has approached him about staging an anthem protest.Buckeyes quarterback JT Barrett said he doesnt see himself protesting but wouldnt have a problem with a teammate who did.The main concept behind it is just shedding light on an issue thats happening in our home, the United States, Barrett said.
