Nebraska athletic director Tom Osborne said a new worry for college sports administrators is the Internet.

Specifically, what his or any other schools' athletes may have done or said that has been posted on the wide world of the Internet.

Osborne said in the wake of two Nebraska wrestlers appearing on a pornographic Web site, Nebraska will join athletic departments across the nation in more monitoring of athletes' use of cyberspace.

This week he's going to talk to the more than 500 Nebraska athletes about being careful with the Internet. And he'll tell them that his department will be watching for what could be embarrassing or otherwise inappropriate posts by the athletes as representatives of the university.
