Nebraska Athletics announced in mid-March that it planned to donate all ticket proceeds from University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Spring Football Game to aid Nebraska wildfire relief efforts.  

“Nebraskans always step up in times of need, and we want to do our part to help our fellow Nebraskans affected by these wildfires,” said Troy Dannen, Nebraska athletic director. Donations will help support Nebraska volunteer firefighters.  

The intrasquad scrimmage was set for kickoff on March 28.
