A new year is here and with it comes both new opportunities and challenges. For athletic director Trev Alberts, he’s ready to tackle whatever lies ahead for Nebraska.
If you meet with Alberts on a late Monday afternoon — like I did earlier this week — you’ll find him sitting in the chair behind his desk on the north side of Memorial Stadium, phone in hand. He’s likely reading something, or responding to someone, and enjoying a moment before business begins again.
And business always begins again.
In the time you have together, Alberts will run through any and every question you might have. You’ll run over your allotted time but he’ll tell you it’s OK. He’ll show you the charts he’s looking over and the budget sheets kept safely in the briefcase next to his chair. Alberts is an open book — within reason, of course — but it never feels forced. Instead, a conversation with Alberts highlights just how excited the Nebraska AD is about the future of the Huskers and college athletics.
In the latest edition of Trev Talks here on Counter Read, Alberts approaches our Q&A in a unique way — one entirely comprised of reader questions. You asked, Alberts answered.
From travel and logistics of the new Big Ten to what excites him most as college athletics shifts, Alberts touched on it all. We’ll have more from the conversation in a number of stories to come in the weeks ahead, but here’s the Q&A as directed by our readers (edited for clarity).
