Nebraska Strength Program Built From Ground Up
Nebraska’s weight program under Epley grew from limited lifting in 1967 to a major operation with 13 strength coaches, six guides for visitors, and facilities upgrades funded by $205,000 from the school and $90,000 from Ken Morrison. The program ships 15,000 pounds of equipment to Miami for the Orange Bowl showcasing its reach and impact on recruiting. Nebraska credits its gym’s evolution as the birthplace of modern collegiate strength and conditioning.
