Amie Just: Trev Alberts’ blindside departure from Nebraska raises many questions
How does this happen?
On Nov. 14, 2023, Nebraska’s Trev Alberts received a massive, eight-year contract extension. His salary doubled. Hefty retention bonuses. With his base salary of $1.7 million, Alberts was among the highest-paid athletic directors in the country. At his alma mater where his name is one of only a handful embossed on Memorial Stadium’s North Stadium wall.

door?
