Nebraska College Rodeo Program

University Communications

wyatt clark
The University of Nebraska-Lincoln has a long history of rodeo dating back almost 60 years. The goals of our program are to maintain and increase the interest of college students in the sport of rodeo, to promote higher scholastic standards among students participating, and to promote the highest type of conduct and sportsmanship through all the work associated with the competitive college rodeo.

Our program consists of both the University of Nebraska Rodeo Association (UNRA) Club and the UNL Rodeo team. The UNRA club is involved in rodeo practices, fundraising, and the production of our annual Nebraska Cornhusker Rodeo. UNL Rodeo team members compete in 10 rodeos a year trying to qualify for the College National Finals Rodeo.

The University of Nebraska Rodeo Association (UNRA) club is a vital part of the rodeo team's success.  The UNRA is involved in rodeo practices, fundraising, and the production of our annual rodeo. Club members can volunteer for a variety of committees, so whatever your interest in rodeo, we have something for you. In 2021-22, the UNRA's efforts were recognized by our 63rd annual Nebraska Cornhusker College Rodeo being named Great Plains Region Rodeo of the Year by the coaches and captains of all of the region teams.
