Nebraska’s volleyball program has continued to generate profits for the university ever since moving to a bigger venue on campus three years ago.
It is rare for a college volleyball program to generate profits, but the Lincoln Journal Star reports Nebraska leads the nation in attendance with an average of 8,206 fans at each match last year.
And the Huskers have sold out 204 consecutive regular-season matches since 2001.
Nebraska volleyball reported a $451,065 profit in 2014 to 2015, and the previous year the program generated $577,601. Last year’s figures aren’t final, but officials expect a similar result.
NCAA reports show Hawaii is the only other college volleyball program that consistently generates profits.
Nebraska coach John Cook says he takes great pride in the fact that his sport has become self-sufficient.
