Nebraska has opted out of a home-and-home football series with Tennessee scheduled for 2026 and 2027.Tennessee athletic director Danny White confirmed the news — and his displeasure — on social media.”Tennessee is not canceling this series. Nebraska did,” White posted Friday on X. “We are very disappointed that they didn’t want to play these games, especially this close to 2026.”The 2026 game had been scheduled for Lincoln, Neb., with the 2027 contest in Knoxville, Tenn.Nebraska athletic director Troy Dannen said upcoming renovations to the Cornhuskers’ stadium prompted the decision.”We are making plans to embark on major renovations of Memorial Stadium that may impact our seating capacity for the 2027 season,” Dannen said in a statement. “The best scenario for us is to have eight home games in 2027 to offset any potential revenue loss from a reduced capacity. The additional home games will also have a tremendous economic benefit on the Lincoln community.”Nebraska will pay $500,000 to get out of the agreement. White told Volquest that the cost should have been “much steeper.””You really can’t pull an audible this late in the game,” White said.
