It's largely due to Nebraska being so heavily involved in 4H, which essentially accomplishes the same thing as FIRST.

I like to believe that nebraska hasn't adopted FRC is because of the cost. 4H costs next to nothing for groups. The only money that groups need are for their projects, which can be as big or as small as they like. If you were to suddenly make an FRC team, you'd need to raise thousands of dollar simply to be allowed to compete. There's no need to throw a system out that is already a great success.
