The former ESPN talking head currently in the witness protection program known as being a college football analyst on the CBS College Sports channel, is looking to make a career move. Trev Alberts is the leading candidate to become the athletic director at the University of Nebraska-Omaha.

Alberts is the only candidate invited to come to the school and meet with the public and media to this point. The former Nebraska star would be a name hire. The Mavericks play Division II sports and is primarily known as a commuter school. The UN-O chancellor, John Christensen, is eager to hire someone who would be able to make a splash in the Omaha community and be able to raise funds.
During his open meeting, Alberts admitted to not knowing the ins-and-outs of running an athletic department. Instead stating that he would be sure to surround himself with people who do know what they are doing and could educate him.

He denied that this was the first step in a master plan to eventually become the Nebraska athletic director, the position presently held by his former coach Tom Osborne. There was no claiming that this job was his destination or dream job, though.
