Texas officials did not confirm the matchup Thursday, but Busboom seemed sure that the nonconference meeting \u2014 between two teams that will likely be ranked near the top of the preseason polls \u2014 will happen. \u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI won\u2019t give you all the details, but we\u2019re bringing back the rivalry to Texas, so that\u2019s going to be fun,\u201d Busboom said to chamber members, according to Husker Online<\/a>. \u201cIt is not going to be in Nebraska, I\u2019ll tell you that. We have another potential, exciting and unique field-type experience. The contracts are going to be signed very soon, hopefully, then we can announce it.\u201d<\/p>\n The Longhorns will compete in the Sprouts Farmers Market Broadway Block Party Sept. 6 in Nashville, Tenn. ESPN will broadcast the event, but has not released details or all participating teams.<\/p>\n Whether Nebraska faces Texas in Nashville or at another neutral site, the meeting will resume a fierce rivalry between two proud programs who once competed against each other in the Big 12. Overall Nebraska holds a 33-25 edge. Texas and Nebraska also have faced off three times for a national championship, with\u00a0Texas winning in 2023<\/a> and Nebraska winning titles in 1995 and 2015.<\/p>\n Both schools boast blue-blood bona fides. Nebraska has won five national titles and Texas has won four since the inception of the NCAA volleyball tournament in 1981. The Longhorns also won the 1981 Association for Intercollegiate Athletics national championship before the organization disbanded the following year.<\/p>\n
