Story from Sam McKewon: omaha.com/sports/huskers/football/nebraska-athletic-director-trev-alberts-leaving-for-texas-a-m/article_4a98107a-ce52-58db-b2de-46933c2c4dfe.html
Quick Glance: Nebraska Athletic Director Leaving for Texas A&M
- Nebraska Athletic Director Trev Alberts is leaving the school for the same job at Texas A&M, confirmed by a source to the World-Herald late Wednesday afternoon.
- Alberts was identified as a top target for the same job at Texas A&M in various media reports, and after hours of speculation, a source confirmed on Wednesday that he accepted the offer about a week after A&M's initial interest.
- If A&M lands Alberts, they will need to pay an additional $4.12 million to buy out his contract at Nebraska, which was extended last year for eight years.
- A former Husker football player and academic All-American, Alberts has made significant changes in Nebraska's athletic department in less than three years, including firing a football coach, securing a $301 million multimedia rights deal, and planning a $450 million overhaul of Memorial Stadium.
