[@rookieexe3444]

Howdy, Aggie here. I really feel for you guys. I’m surprised Trev left y’all. From what I’m hearing, he’s a good AD, and I’m happy that he’s going to be our new AD, but I Nebraska is a school I respect and I enjoy watching on a Saturday. And I hate taking y’all’s AD. I hope y’all find someone who can fill the void that he left, and I hope y’all can get y’all’s leadership back in order.

[@moonbot7613]

Our Board of Regents are Right Wing Religious nut jobs with no progressive thinking.

[@WalterArritt]

A&M will find out the mess they have inherited.

[@p.k.5455]

There is definitely something wrong inside the University and I know we will probably never know what, but people will say anything and everything that ISN'T true! I just hope it gets fixed and soon!

[@tombob671]

I feel for you guys. I cannot imagine why Trev would consider that shit show that is A&M. They have buckets of money 💰, but it's one of the most disfunctional places in college sports. Just think of tte fortune they have squandered and bo championships. You areon point to the question to the Board " WHAT THE F**K IS GOING ON??!" I hope this works out for you guys, I am pulling for you. GBR OU Fan since 1956

[@Guevon_Pajaro]

Thank you. You're speaking only truth, brother. Idk if we've heard he's getting a ton of extra at am, I heard he's being paid similarly. So why go down to that disaster piece of a program? Plus the culty thing they got down there with the fanbase is weird. I'd stay away despite all the money

[@brandonriggle3860]

It's the board itself. Vote them out!

@tombob671 Dammit, this is why it's hard to dislike OU and their fans, no matter how hard I try. Classy post. Much appreciated. Good luck to the Sooners (unless they play Nebraska]. Enjoy the rest of the day. Cheers.

Thank you! We love you right back, #BoomerSooner! I miss our rivalry! Good luck in the SEC. Kick some A&M tail (and I don’t blame Trev for leaving).

[@blackout07blue]

A&M hasn’t squandered much. They’ve just made the wrong football hires until this last new guy. Same for baseball til the current guy & basketball pretty much always because at an arena disadvantage.

[@geekstradamus1548]

Seems obvious that this is a top-down problem that Carter and Albert’s (and Greene?) wanted as far away from as they could possibly get.

[@WalterArritt]

When you create a mess the natural instinct is to run away.

[@Levi-tm4gl]

Apathy, APATHY Jon, I have just begun to feel a hint of apathy. Something I have never felt before even through all the Frost shit. What’s the point of spending my time being a fan of this program if the university obviously doesn’t give a fly F**K about any of us fans. JUST GIVE US SOME STABILITY AND A FREAKIN ABOVE 500 FOOTBALL TEAM!

Well said my friend.

[@kevinsterner9490]

As always, a very common sense opinion. Thanks for sharing. It's funny how nobody cared about the AD until Chancellor Perlman hired Pederson that led to the firing of Solich.

[@REL3712]

I've long admired Trev Alberts as a player, sports commentator, and AD. He seems to be a very smart, entrospective, & analytical person. Let me be clear, I have absolutely no facts as to why he's leaving. But he doesn't strike me as the type to chase money. If you take a job solely for money, it will soon reveal you took it for the wrong reason. People change either because they hate their current state or there's a crisis. It doesn't appear on the surface there's a crisis so, maybe he became disheartened with certain changes in the university's direction, core beliefs, and/or leadership vision. Whatever the case, I wish him & his family nothing but the best. As a 28 yr AF vet and another 14 yrs serving the AF as a civilian, I served during the AF Chief of Staff Gen Welsh era. I can say that Trev might be in for much more than he expects. Many who served during his regime see Welsh as the man who pussified the AF. He's a political animal and absolutey loves to hear himself talk. I could go on but, we'll see how it plays out. I think Trev was pressed into a decision and found himself choosing the new & unknown @ A&M over the what is and what's going to come @ NU. Eyes wide open.

[@jordansocha6932]

This is sooo fishy... a former UNL football player becomes AD of his alma mater when the football team is seemingly at rock bottom, hires HIS new football coach with a chance to cement his legacy (again), Scoggin lawsuit emerges, leaves after only 2 years and 8 months on the job and after hiring Rhule 1 year and 3 months ago. I don't think it has anything to do with stadium rebuild fundraising because he was working on that for a while and he doesn't seem like the type to leave because of a challenge like that or regent relationships.

[@saccfa]

Told you guys Trev was a jerk.... I don't know the particulars but this just feels like a-hole regents and a getting too big for himself AD playing chicken. And this is what we get. GBR.

[@jongrant1215]

There is a reason why Alberts left that we are left speculating. It seems to me that the Regents have been behind the deterioration for over 20 years. Alberts was the best AD they had in over 24 years. Before this, they had some poor ADs.

[@jasontaylor657]

2 unrelated questions come to my mind… 1) If it is lawsuit related (women’s basketball) would leaving to A&M help him evade something in anyway? I’m just curious to why something like this is one of the darker reasons, how it would help him and why would A&M take him. 2) Do we have enough evidence that Jon Cook wants to become AD and has the competence?

A&M would take him bc he’s a phenomenal AD
