Nebraska College Rodeo Program

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 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.

The UNL Rodeo Team is a proud member of the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association (NIRA), which is represented on more than 200 college and university campuses throughout the United States. The team competes in the Great Plains Region alongside other teams from Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, and Wisconsin. 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.
