Its official. NU has a useless Board of Regents!!

At least it’s nice that someone gets to pay us for once
Trev isn't a loss at all, but his decision to leave and make a lateral move is just one more sign of the major dysfunction at every leadership level in this state. I'd like to look at moving out of this state, because besides family, there's nothing keeping me here.
You have two posts on this thread referring to "political" and "politics". Can you please expand on what you mean? Are you implying politics had something to do with the University President job not being filled for 6 months? Do you mean Red/Blue politics, or politics within the department. And are you guessing, or have you heard something?
There has been somewhat of a pattern within Trev's employment history. It can be summed up in one word and one that I firmly believe played a roll in his departure....Ego.
Pillen is an idiot and is the one who is causing a lot of the dysfunction.
Not sure how to feel about this yet, as Trev’s tenure wasn’t exactly a clear indication of future success. It wasn’t till this year that MBB had a winning record, and who knows what will happen this fall with FB. However, he was far from an incompetent AD, and if rumors are true can you blame him for skipping town if the BOR is standing in the progress of the athletic program he wants to build?
Stepping back and trying to look at this objectively it doesn’t seem that there is a commitment/priority to excel at athletics at NU( mainly football the bread winner) for quite some time. The last three ADs failed to help NU’s football program win on the field, which makes you question if it goes beyond just the ADs and coaches?

I don’t know him well enough to speak to his ego, but this was a purely selfish move. And the fact that NO ONE in the department knew, everyone was blindsided and this goes against everything he has ever said about being a leader and work…it’s a low character move. Pure abandonment of his Alma mater, department, coaches, players and stated beliefs at the drop of a hat because he saw an opportunity for himself.
This is a good discussion and it will now be brought to the forefront and pressure applied to the responsible party.
They are bringing in so much cash that now is the time to strike with regard to best in class facilities
That’s generally how it works. We don’t know what the environment was like behind the scenes, and for how long. I tend to agree though. I feel like Trev is talking out of both sides of his mouth.
Feel to much of the administration left too much up to him with no help from anyone that has any authority..
He just threw up his hands and said I’m done without any authority from the University.
What’s taking so long to get a president and chancellor?

Old jar of mayonnaise is LWNJ. Best to ignore him
Benedict Alberts is the only one sabotaging anything. Dude singed a lucrative extension then went shopping around. Low character guy.. good riddance
That’s just it, as I do not understand biting the mouth that feeds. NU is one of the most financially responsible athletic departments in the country and does not have to rely on state funds to operate. NU’s financial success also flows back into academics as most years they donate millions back to the University.
Point being, an investment into athletics at NU is an investment into academics.
Big loss for athletic dept. Trev did a lot for the program in a few years, anybody speaking otherwise is clueless.
It must have been pretty bad for Trev to leave. I would love to hear his side of the story. Maybe more comes out in the next few weeks, but I do think this is a big setback…just my gut feeling. Hope I’m wrong.
Then why give the interview that you love everything and sign an extension? Low- quality guy imo. Probably enjoyed eliminating uno football program and crushing kids .
It's not the governor. Did anyone on here listen to the last governor's call in show??
I'll wait for someone to hold their hand up

Maybe it WAS ok then. Low quality guy? I would disagree based on what I observed from afar. I’ll wait to judge until there is more info….
Unprecedented success? Does he know what "unprecedented" means?
Trying to wrap my brain around the idea that our governor's political party is the reason.We don't have an AD today
Texas Gay & M can have him. Get a big time AD and he’s an after thought.
This fanbase would wring its hands about the salsa brand used at the training table.
He’d be putting his foot up his own ass
So he didn’t sign an extension and bounce? Did I dream the whole AssToMouth move?
Says the dumbass new troll boy.
All of the above. There’s blame that can be spread around. I just think that the situation is toxic and undesirable to outsiders. Am I wrong?
