Looking for @Bobfather opinion on this tidbit regarding our next AD.

"Q: Alberts is widely blamed for cutting those sports. Do people realize it was you?


A: They blamed Trev and that was totally wrong. When I got to the point where I was convinced we had to do this or go down the well, I asked Trev to put some data and thoughts together and give it to me.

Christensen brought up an interesting thing I didn’t know: He said he and his wife drove to the Division II national tournament in Kearney. It was widely reported that Alberts told wrestling coach Mike Denney over the phone that his program was being cut. Christensen said he pulled Denney aside after the call at the meet in Kearney and talked to him face-to-face."
