DevoHusker Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 I think he's a good guy. He said in November there is no place he'd rather be. He was compensated well...#2 B1G...and signed an extension. I think there is some dark doings above Trev's head and he got while the getting was good . 1 Quote Link to comment
HuskerNation1 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Rhule is a competitive guy and likely feels betrayed by Alberts, especially if its true that Rhule is out of the country now. I look for Rhule to use this betrayal as personal ammo to fire up the football team. 4 Quote Link to comment

I disagree, and he has proven that what he said 4 months ago is bullcrap. 1 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Micheal Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 The regents have, it seems, made no progress on finding a president. I don't see them finding an AD quickly. 2 Quote Link to comment

BoSolich Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 is it possible he just wanted more money and using lack of a president as an excuse to leave without looking like 'the bad guy'? maybe he doesn't see the football team doing good in the new look big ten and just decided this was his chance to make another move. it's just a theory but it makes sense. pederson/eichrost/moos all lasted 5 years and trev is in year 4, so maybe he didn't want to be the next fall guy and ruin his legacy here. bottom line is money talks, and A&M has a lot of it. and its worth noting he'll save 7% per year in state income taxes in texas. 3 Quote Link to comment

Stumpy1 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Sounds like there is some smoke with Michael Benson from Coastal Carolina becoming our next President. 1 Quote Link to comment

Other than….he actually would need to be getting more money. He was top 10 nationally. He will be top 10 there with a shorter contract. 1 2 Quote Link to comment

Except that property taxes are ~30% higher down there. I know this first hand, as I’m doing a LOT better with taxes up here than I was in Texas. People need to drop the myth that by not having state income tax Texas is some great Tax shelter. If you own any property you pay substantially for it. Plus let’s not overlook the 8.25% state sales tax (which is higher in certain cities). And add to the fact that property valuations are skyrocketing and while there’s a 10% cap, your valuation can change every year (opposed to every two years in NE), property owners are guaranteed a 10% increase in valuation EVERY YEAR…likely for the next decade or two until valuations catch up to actual values. Now car renewal taxes…those are the only taxes in NE I find to be ridiculously excessive. 3 1 Quote Link to comment
Popular Post VectorVictor Posted March 14 Popular Post Share Posted March 14 People choosing to disparage Alberts or say he went for more money are doing so because they realize their vote helped put the University and it’s Athletic Department in the position it’s currently in (rudderless, lacking leadership, full of in-fighting and regent incompetence). Your vote has consequences—Terry Pettit has already called this out. Ricketts, Pillen, the Peeds—they’re systematically attacking the University by slashing its budget, and the regents they backed should be sued for malfeasance they’re so incompetent. But hey, blame Trev going for more money (which he didn’t get) or moving to another red State (that keeps their leadership) if that helps you cope with the fact that your vote for Pillen and Ricketts is helping kill the university. 12 2 3 4 1 Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 I woke up still not believing that the powers that be at UNL has allowed the loss of the President, Chancellor and now AD in such a short period of time. 1 4 Quote Link to comment

Why? This is exactly what Pillen, Ricketts, and the Peed family want. They want an unstable University they can dismantle, and leaving it rudderless and in the hands of incompetent lackeys on the BoR helps their cause. Frankly, a lot of Nebraska voters that *supposedly* love Husker athletics and the University need to realize that voting for the current (read: non-moderate) GOP candidates means undermining the University and its mission, which includes athletics. Also, it’s not a coincidence that some of the best runs the University *and* this state had is when we had moderate leadership at the helm, and not the incompetence we have now at Governor. Elections have consequences. 9 8 Quote Link to comment
