Isn't that money lost regardless of whether or not they cancel the Tennessee game?
Yes
That’s why they are canceling the game:
7 games x 8 million = 56 million
7 games x 7 million = 49 million
8 games x 7 million = 56 million minus buyouts to get the extra home game
They are losing money every home game
So they are creating an extra home game to make up the revenue

The Indiana Blueprint.
There is something to be said for it
But the Nebraska athletics dept thinks this is about making more money

It's rather conveniently servicing both goals.
2025 they play Cincinnati on neutral (but I will assume vastly Husker crowd) to open the season.
They currently aren't scheduled after that to leave Lincoln for a Non-Big 10 game until 2029 when they play at Oklahoma, a 3+ season gap. Let's see if that one sticks.
Other than Cincinnati the only other P4 team on their Non-conference lineup is Arizona until the matchup with the Sooners.

Quite possibly.
Maybe the Big 8/12 history with the Sooners would preclude them from bailing on that one. Also depends on the buyout provisions.
Whatever the CFP format becomes could also have an influence. A coaching change could also result in a different scheduling philosophy.
