The University of Nebraska awarded a contract to the University of Tennessee valued at $340,000 for the delivery of intercollegiate football services.

The prime contractor, University of Tennessee, will serve as the visiting team for two scheduled football games: one contest at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Nebraska, on September 12, 2026, and a second contest at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, Tennessee, on September 11, 2027. The contract specifies kickoff times between 11:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. local time as mutually agreed by both parties.

The contract deliverables include the University of Tennessee's participation in two football games and a flat dollar guarantee payment of $340,000 per game, payable on or before March 1 following each scheduled game. Additionally, the agreement includes the issuance of 4,000 game tickets to the visiting team. The contract encompasses all ancillary provisions from the original agreement, including official appointment procedures, broadcast rights subject to conference television agreements, filming rights, and remedial provisions for failure to perform. Both institutions operate as public entities within their respective state educational systems, with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln competing in the Big 12 Conference and the University of Tennessee competing in the Southeastern Conference.
