The University of Nebraska Athletic Department awarded a contract to James Kyhn (Pennsylvania) for public address announcer services for Nebraska Cornhusker home soccer matches. The contract, effective August 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, establishes an independent contractor relationship with compensation of $115 per game. The contractor is required to make best efforts to attend 100 percent of the home schedule and must maintain residency within a 60-mile radius of the Husker home venue to comply with Big Ten Conference requirements. In addition to per-game compensation, Kyhn will receive four complimentary soccer season tickets, which are subject to taxation. The stated contract amount is $0.00, with actual compensation structure based on services rendered at the per-game rate.

Under the terms of the agreement, Kyhn must adhere to all University of Nebraska, Big Ten Conference, and National Collegiate Athletic Association rules while maintaining professional conduct and collaborating with game management and marketing staff. The University retains the right to terminate the agreement at any time and for any reason, and owns all recordings and video of the contractor's work. Additional voice-over, master of ceremonies, or appearance work will be compensated at rates mutually agreed upon by both parties. As an independent contractor, Kyhn is not eligible for University employee benefits, and payment for services is due no later than 60 days following the end of each season.
