Yeah. I liked what Trev was doing, but he was the AD from Omaha and there was a lot of people pissed we hired him. The same people are pissed he is leaving. I guess for me, I would get someone who is a proven AD that knows that Nebraska Football is the bell cow and that should be the entire attention. I don't think getting a qualified person will be hard.
Property taxes are high in TX as well. Sales tax is more there too. Only thing less is the fact that they have no income tax vs 6.6 here but that's going down if bill gets passed.
Or he's made the moves he can make and got a raise, but aTm is offering a lot more. Time for another challange.
I can read people too. You're an insufferable douche.
We lost one our better ADs imo, dollar Bill Byrne to a&m in 2002.
Exactly why I found that vote noteworthy enough to post a thread about it

What that list shows me is that Nebraska can compete with the big boys just fine, especially since the job wasn’t even done yet. So whatever his reasons, it’s not because he couldn’t get it done here.
I disagree that it is second fiddle to Texas. This state is divided by region. There aren't a whole lot of Longhorn fans here in Houston. Infinitely more Aggies. UT rules San Antonio, Austin and portions of Dallas that don't support Baylor, TCU or SMU. Then you have west Texas where a good number are Tech fans.
two things on that list are:
Ok keep it not the right word but my meaning stands. One way or another they don’t stay. The instability prevents much momentum from building. Alberts got a lot of things heading in the right direction here.
I just read two articles. Do not know how current the numbers are but it looks like the Texas AD is the highest paid at about 2.5 million. Trev is at 1.7 million. A&M must be wanting to set off an arms race on athletic directors' salaries if they are going to pay Trev career changing money. No way do schools like Texas not jump in and up their salary of their AD.
Oh I agree gameday is awesome. We tailgated next to a building that had the Hog Hall of Fame on its walls
another offseason national championship for football!
I am sure in a big state like Texas there are divided loyalties among college sports fans, but to the outside world and in terms of winning, prestige, notoriety, history, etc., the Texas Longhorns far out rank A&M. Your argument is like saying the Huskers do not play second fiddle in the Big Ten to Ohio State and Michigan in Lincoln and Omaha.
Tuco isn't wrong. Texas A&M is a pretty damn big deal in the south. Nationally you are probably correct, but if you go to the south it is a different story. Hell even nationally people know the money they have. Lot's of grads all over the area because of their petroleum engineering program. Tuco hit the nail on the head for Texas, but having lived in the South and worked in the construction industry related to energy they are a big name.
Yes but could be thinking better take this offer/gig because if in trouble, could be his value goes way down
Not sure. My son just texted that according to an owh article, NU officials say they have not been informed of trev leaving
But what has Texas won really? ESPN thought that too when they decided to create the Longhorn Network. Millions of lost dollars later they realized that it was a lost cause.
