Nebraska has swiftly appointed a new Athletic Director (AD) following the unexpected departure of Trev Alberts, a 58-year old, who left after just six months on the job. The search for a new AD was notably quick and has been described as an impressive acquisition under the circumstances. The new AD, previously with the University of Northern Iowa (UNI), has been hired away from a fellow Big Ten school, marking a significant move within the conference. This rapid transition has sparked discussions about the nature of the transfer portal and its impact on college sports administration. The situation has also led to commentary on the perceived instability at Nebraska, highlighted by the recent quick turnover of both its football coach, who left after 2 years, and AD.
That Big Ten AD portal is something. https://t.co/SzbLJrNP9J

This transfer portal has got to get under control Oh wait, it's a 58-year old guy whose departure after just five months will undoubtedly lead to people losing their jobs, as opposed to a player, so people won't say a thing. https://t.co/geivckbnmO
