TRAVIS L. BROWN Bryan-College Station Eagle
Six weeks into his first athletic director position, the ever-competitive Trev Alberts approached then Nebraska-Omaha Chancellor John Christensen with a question.
What would define victory for Alberts in his new position?
He knew what wins looked like in his previous careers, as an NFL linebacker and a sports media personality. But, beyond raising money and hiring and firing coaches, what does winning look like for an athletic director?
His charge became building a financially stable, 25-year plan for the Omaha athletic department, with which he ultimately accomplished in his 12-year tenure with little prior knowledge in the realm of business.
