The University of Nebraska-Lincoln has a long history of rodeo dating back almost 70 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 University of Nebraska-Lincoln Rodeo team. The UNRA club is involved in rodeo practices, fundraising, and the production of our annual Nebraska Cornhusker Rodeo. Nebraska Rodeo team members compete in 10 rodeos a year trying to qualify for the College National Finals Rodeo.
If you would like more information about our program, please reach out and contact Wyatt Clark.
