Big Ten Conference announces creation of Anti-Hate and Anti-Racism Coalition

The Big Ten has announced the creation of a new coalition to empower student-athletes to combat hate and racism.

In the wake of George Floyd’s death, most Americans are asking themselves what they can do to prevent future tragedies. For Big Ten Commissioner Kevin Warren, that call led him to create the Big Ten Conference Anti-Hate and Anti-Racism Coalition.

Warren announced the coalition in a powerful statement he released on Monday along with a $100,000 donation to the National Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights.

The coalition will invite student-athletes, coaches, athletic directors, chancellors, presidents, and others to join him as they work to empower student-athletes to create meaningful change.
