History

One man tops the list of people responsible for the success of the University of Nebraska athletic teams—Bob Devaney. For 35 years he was the driving force behind the University of Nebraska championships, first as a Hall of Fame football coach (1962-72), then as Athletic Director (1967-93) and Athletic Director Emeritus (1993-96). His Husker gridiron teams won eight Big Eight titles and two national championships (1970, 1971). Devaney retired in 1996 and lived in Lincoln until he passed away at the age of 82 on May 9, 1997. Although Devaney no longer has a physical presence at Nebraska, his mark will remain forever.

Our endowment and planned giving program is proudly named the Devaney Legacy Society. Members of the Devaney Legacy Society carry on the tradition by ensuring the long-term financial future and national prominence of Nebraska Athletics. By establishing a scholarship endowment, program endowment or planned gift with Nebraska Athletics, you will support our student-athletes by funding expenses directly related to education, personal development and sports performance.

Along with exclusive events and visibility in public spaces, we provide additional opportunities for our endowment and planned gift supporters:

  • "A Night at the Lied" Academic Awards Celebration
  • Nebraska Athletics Benefactor Plaque

Philanthropic gifts, not involving the accumulation of priority points or other benefits, are 100% tax deductible. An annual itemized receipt of your contribution and corresponding deductions will be sent to you by February of the following year.

Scholarship endowments start at $100,000, are payable over five years and underwrite essential costs associated with:

  • Tuition
  • Room and Board

  • Miscellaneous Expenses
