Among the universities in the Big Ten conference, only Michigan, Michigan State and Nebraska prohibit the sale of alcohol within their arenas.

Lawmakers say Big Ten conference schools who do sell alcohol have seen a decrease in binge drinking and alcohol-related issues at games. The NCAA ended its policy prohibiting alcohol sales in 2019. Currently 11 of the 14 teams in the Big Ten do see alcohol at games. Under the bill sales would be limited to one hour before the event and end immediately at the end of the game

The bills are now heading to the governor’s desk to be enacted.
