[Husker] Announcement at 11:00 about the future of Nebraksa Athletics

[Mike Jaixen]

Let me correct myself...

To defend Trev Alberts, many decisions were made for Trev regarding UNO 
athletics, and while the decision to drop wrestling was NOT implemented 
correctly, so much of that was completely out of his control.  


I'm not going to defend how Alberts made the announcement.  That was screwed up, though there were numerous factors that influenced that.  But Trev screwed it up, and he even admits that.

The decision, while painful, was correct, given the situation UNO was in and the mandate he had been given.

Hail Varsity is confirming the retirement announcement...

I think the speculation that it's going to be an inhouse search is probably correct...  speculation is very strong it's health related.

About the only thing Trev could have done different was make the announcement in person. I don't know if that would have made anybody associated with UNO wrestling feel any better; I know if I would have been a wrestler, I wouldn't have felt any better about the situation and probably would have been just as angry.

Going to be interesting to see who steps up.  Jamie Williams and Paul Miles
are the two in house favorites.  I certainly hope it is not Trev (I am an
old wrestler and the UNO team handling was despicable). They could step
outside the NU family since hiring from within worked so well with Pedey.
Makes you yearn for the days of Bill Byrne.  :-)

Wasn't he supposedly only going to be AD for just a couple of years, to get
us through the disaster years of Pedey-shine and He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named?
Seems to me that he enjoys himself, and he got the Department through major
construction projects at the Stadium and the Haymarket basketball arena.
Could another person coming in new have done as much?

If he leaves, its again on his terms.  Gotta love the guy.
