Nebraska Highlights
Nebraska Sports Betting and Casino Bill Signed into Law
Nebraska sports betting is now legal after Gov. Pete Ricketts signed the state’s first-ever commercial casino gaming bill into law. Nebraska’s gaming bill only permits retail sportsbooks at pari-mutuel race tracks, which can also offer “Las Vegas-style” casino gaming under the legislation. The bill prohibits bets on college games featuring in-state programs played in the state.
Nebraska Sports Betting Bill Advances Without In-State College Betting Restriction
Nebraska lawmakers advanced a sweeping casino authorization bill Tuesday, April 20, without an in-state college betting prohibition that would have prevented legal wagering on home games for popular programs such as the Nebraska Cornhuskers football team.
Nebraska Casinos Could Open Door for Sportsbooks
Voters in Nebraska overwhelmingly approved ballot measures that will expand casino gaming options at six commercial horse tracks. This means slots and table games for are likely coming to all six, but the 2020 ballot measures could have further-reaching implications for sports betting.

College Football BettingNebraska Cornhuskers Football
One of the most storied college football programs in the country, the Nebraska Cornhuskers are the only Division I football program in the state. They have five total National Championships and 26 bowl victories. They play at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, which is one of the rowdiest stadiums in all of college football.
The Cornhuskers haven't faired well in the past 20 years, however. Since 1997, Nebraska has shuffled through five different head coaches and haven't been to a bowl game since the 2016 season. The Cornhuskers are currently led by coach Scott Frost.

College Basketball Betting
Nebraska Cornhuskers Men's Basketball
Unlike their football counterparts, Nebraska's basketball team has seldom had success since beginning in 1897. They are the only major conference program in the country that has never won an NCAA tournament game, despite having seven appearances in their history.
The Cornhuskers are led by former Chicago Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg, who coached the team to just 14 total wins in his first two seasons.
Creighton Bluejays Men's Basketball
The winningest basketball program in the Cornhusker state is the Creighton Bluejays. Creighton has 1,534 all-time wins and 22 total appearances in the NCAA tournament. Once Creighton makes the tournament, they historically do well, advancing past the first round seven total times.
The Bluejays are led by coach Greg McDermott. 2022 is McDermott's 12th season at Creighton.
Omaha Mavericks Men's Basketball
The Omaha Maverick's are one of 44 teams to have never made the NCAA tournament. They compete in the Summit League and play their home games at the Baxter Arena. They had decent success when they were a Division II program, but haven't done much since leaping to DI.
The Mavericks are led by coach Derrin Hansen. 2022 is Hansen's 16th season at Omaha.
