MADISON, Wis. -- Wisconsin will revise home football game policies after a fan at a game against Nebraska was asked to remove offensive parts of a costume that appeared to be a President Barack Obama mask and a noose around his neck.Athletic director Barry Alvarez said in a statement Wednesday that he was deeply troubled by the incident ... and sorry for the harm it caused.Alvarez says he is determined that nothing like it would happen again.The school plans to have a revised policy in place in time for Wisconsins next game at Camp Randall Stadium on Nov. 12 against Illinois.Alvarez met with community leaders and students on Wednesday to discuss the stadium policies.Our department is committed to working collaboratively to make our stadium a great and safe place for fans to watch a football game, Alvarez said.The picture of the costumed fan from the eighth-ranked Badgers overtime win Saturday night over Nebraska circulated on social media. The fan wore a black-and-white jumpsuit, along with the mask, the noose and a sign on his chest. Another person appeared to be holding up the rope of the noose.The fan complied when guest services staff asked to remove the offensive parts of the costume, the school said.Current university policy does not allow fans to wear masks while entering the stadium, but they are allowed to wear them once inside.On Saturday , the school said the costume was repugnant and ran counter to the universitys values, but was an exercise in free speech.Wisconsin said it also exercised its right to ask the fan to remove the offensive parts of the costume.---More AP college football: http://collegefootball.ap.org/ John Means Jersey .

EUGENE, Ore. -- New Virginia coach Bronco Mendenhall is urging patience as the Cavaliers are rebuilt.A trip to No. 24 Oregon certainly might strain it.After a disappointing season-opening loss to lower-tier Richmond, the Cavaliers (0-1) make the 2,800-mile trip to Eugene to face the Ducks (1-0) on Saturday night.Virginias 37-20 loss to the Spiders last weekend was made worse by the fact that it happened at home, spoiling Mendenhalls debut.I think they were as hopeful as anyone that this would be an immediate turnaround, he said. But its going to take time. And how much Im not certain. But I am positive that it will happen and that the scheme, strategy and coaches that are here will be able to pull that off. Lots and lots of work ahead, steep learning curve still to come.Along that steep curve is the stop at Autzen Stadium, known for its inhospitable noise, and a late start time (10:30 p.m. ET). Then there are the Ducks themselves, who beat UC Davis 53-28 in their opener last weekend.Oregon racked up 522 yards of total offense (271 passing and 251 on the ground), ranking the Ducks third in the Pac-12.That doesnt bode well for the Cavaliers, who allowed 524 in Richmonds third win in 33 meetings between the two teams.I have a simple statement that comes from a book, and it simply says, `The only way out is through, Mendenhall said. We have significant tests coming up that we have to go through, and thats going to season our team, its going to shape our team, its going to mold our team, its going to unite our team. But its also going to expose the things that need to be exposed for us to grow and get better.Mendenhall won 99 games in 11 seasons at BYU before taking over Virginia, which hasnt been to a bowl game since 2011.Other things to watch when Oregon hosts Virginia:GRADUATE TRANSFERS: Oregon and Virginia feature graduate-transfer starting quarterbacks who were solid in their first outings. Oregons Dakota Prukop, who came from Montana State, threw for 271 yards and three touchdowns while rushing for another in the victory over UC Davis. Kurt Benkert, who transferred to Virginia from EEast Carolina, threw for 264 yards and three touchdowns but had an interception.ddddddddddddFIRST-GAME FUMBLES: Virginia lost three fumbles in its opener, including two by senior tailback Taquan Mizzell. Mendenhall took responsibility, saying Mizzell was held out of scrimmages and wasnt tackled live in fall camp. In hindsight, the coach said he might have handled it differently.Oregon receiver and special teams standout Charles Nelson also uncharacteristically fumbled twice for turnovers in Oregons opener.I had the first-game jitters. I just took my eye off the ball for a second and fumbled it, Nelson said. Second time, I just tried to make extra yards. I should have run out of bounds. I had the ball in the wrong hand, and the other guy made a great play.GOIN BACK TO CALI: Virginia went west last season, visiting then-No. 13 UCLA and returning home with a 34-16 loss. The Cavaliers are 0-6 against the Pac-12, and their last win west of the Mississippi came in 1999 when they beat BYU 45-40 in Provo.Its an out-of-conference game, so I feel like what we did last season going over to California and playing UCLA, I feel like we went into that game with a lot of momentum and just thinking that `We can do this Even though we ... didnt win that game, but I feel like this year its going to be the same way with a different outcome, Virginia running back Albert Reid said.DUCK DOMINANCE: Oregon visited Virginia and Scott Stadium back in 2013. Future Heisman Trophy winner Marcus Mariota, then in his second year as starter for the Ducks, passed for 199 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for another 122 yards and a TD in the 59-10 Oregon win.UNIFORMS? OF COURSE!: It really wouldnt be a fall weekend without the introduction of a new Oregon uniform . The model for Virginia is all yellow with what appears to be a stylized wing motif on the shoulders. Matte black helmets with a Duck logo complete the ensemble. Oregon footballs Twitter account called the look swift lightning. ' ' '
