Morphology
university + of + Nebraska-Lincoln
The phrase is a straightforward place-name construction: 'university' + 'of' + a proper place name indicates a university located in that city/state. This compositional pattern (e.g. 'Universidad de X', 'Université de X') is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words and the place name will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
University of Nebraska-Lincoln simply names the University of the state Nebraska that sits in the city of Lincoln. So think of it as 'Nebraska's main university in Lincoln', which explains why the name refers to the state's public research university and its main campus.
