$261,000
COMMERCIAL
$710,000 PRIVATE
In 2018, Nebraska Athletics spent $971,000 on flights to recruit prospects for football, men’s basketball and women’s basketball. A total of $710,000 of that was spent on private flights, while $261,000 was spent on commercial flights. Because Lincoln has limited commercial flight availability, the Nebraska Athletic Department is actively seeking donations to simplify air travel, maximize time and reduce costs.
