College football team
The Nebraska–Omaha Mavericks football team represented the University of Nebraska Omaha in NCAA Division II college football, and played its first season in 1911. They competed in the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) during their last season in 2010 and played home games on campus at Al F. Caniglia Field in Omaha, Nebraska.
On March 25, 2011, the university's board of regents voted to disband the team in order to save money for the athletic program, which was transitioning to Division I. (Disputed by ESPN; see link below)[2]
