The people of Nebraska had great confidence in Trev Alberts. It is a huge step backwards when both Ted carter and Trev decided it wasn't worth it to stay and work within the system. Obviously the Board of Regents lack of leadership was the problem.
Nebraska Athletics needed major stability after years of Riley/Frost. Everyone treated Trev as the Prodigal Son, even those not from Nebraska. Husker Nation NEEDS what he has....no reason to leave other than $$$$.
No matter how bad it looks, Dannen has to do what's necessary to keep the athletic department in the black financially. That's the bottom line. He can't allow millions in revenue to be lost just to save face.
Live in Nashville and have been waiting for this game for years. TN canceled the first one for the VTech game in Bristol. We need to be playing more elite teams outside the big10.
That was what the expanded playoffs were for, more best on best games.
Now we look like the typical SEC team, weak.
It's not cowardice. Dannen only recently was given the numbers on when and how much the South Stadium renovation would cost. He made this move to add an 8th home game to keep the athletic dept from losing millions of $$.
Not all fans live in Big 10 country, and this was the one game on a future schedule that was within driving distance for me. Not to mention the Smoky Mountains would've been a great travel destination for our fans. The "stadium remodel" excuse seems like a cop-out.
Total shock and really caught the Husker Nation off guard. Still don't get it. We'll see how the new AD pans out.

ReplyI was flabbergasted. He said it was his dream job. Guess you can't trust anybody.
ReplyWe tend to take a man at his word, at least until he proves you can't. Trev did just that.
