Extremely qualified guy who is very experienced within the NU system in multiple roles. Time will tell what kind of presidente he will be. Like this hire.
Thanks for the information.
I don't understand why Trev Alberts would have been involved in the merging plan? Doesn't seem like an athletic decision to me.
I think the BOR got an "ass-kicking" from the governor and reacted.Awesome hire. Same with the AD spot. I hope Trev leaving lit a fire under the university. Maybe this was a an “oh shit” moment. Maybe this was a Matt Rhule flex. Regardless, We have awesome people in place, including a football coach that GETS IT. If we ever want to be a great department again, we have to have people in charge that prioritize winning and investment. We have to keep the people we have. “Next man up” mentality, while sometimes necessary, shouldn’t be common at Nebraska unless we want to continue to struggle.
They needed one.I think the BOR got an "ass-kicking" from the governor and reacted.
Wondered the same thing.I don't understand why Trev Alberts would have been involved in the merging plan? Doesn't seem like an athletic decision to me.
The board had been deadlocked for months between Dr. Gold and Bryan Slone, president of the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce. Following Nebraska Athletic Director Trev Alberts’ unexpected resignation last week, Governor Jim Pillen expressed his disappointed and urged the University’s Board of Regents to take action.I think the BOR got an "ass-kicking" from the governor and reacted.
That's about the average term of a university upper administrator these days so probably happens regardless. The job has become insufferable in the current political climate. And that's all exacerbated when athletics is the tail is wagging the dog at an insitution.My only concern is Gold's age and having to do this again in 5-ish years. However, if he can navigate NU back to AAU status I'm good with that tradeoff.
somebody got their helmet rattled?I think the BOR got an "ass-kicking" from the governor and reacted.
Will be interesting to see what happens with everyone working on the same team now.Can they get South Stadium contracts signed soon as well?
Pillen was right to call out the BOR. They had Gold's name in front of them for the last seven months and couldn't or wouldn't make a decision. It took the governor telling them to get off their regent asses to get something done
Glad it wasn’t Slone. The US Chamber of Commerce is one of the biggest groups of villains in this country.The board had been deadlocked for months between Dr. Gold and Bryan Slone, president of the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce.

Yeah, that shit is going nowhere. Full stop, guaranteed.Yes - Gold has a truly impressive resume
I am especially impressed by commitment to DEI - even going so far as to create the first ever department of DEI while he head of the ACGME
ACGME statement
“After six years as an influential member of the ACGME Board of Director …. His tenure also oversaw major successes and accomplishments, including, notably, the conclusion of the five-year transition to a single GME accreditation system, bringing together the allopathic and osteopathic traditions of medical education under the singular accreditation authority of the ACGME, and the creation of the ACGME’s first Department of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. “
Our sports teams sure have the inclusivity down!Yes - Gold has a truly impressive resume

LOL. The landslide of public criticism, phone calls and emails had a hell of a lot more to do with it.I think the BOR got an "ass-kicking" from the governor and reacted.
Now maybe the University can move on re-gaining it's membership in the AAU.
