Contract details revealed for new Nebraska athletic director Trev Alberts
Contract details are now available for new Nebraska athletic director Trev Alberts.
Omaha.com obtained details of his deal with Nebraska, which will pay him $800,000 per year in base pay.
Omaha.com’s Sam McKewon also reports that Alberts will receive bonuses depending on the Huskers’ performance in the Director’s Cup standings. Here’s a breakdown of the bonus structure:
- Finish between 26th and 30th: $160,000
- Finish between 21st and 25th: $180,000
- Finish between 16th and 20th: $200,000
- Finish in the top-15: $220,000
The Huskers have not finished in the top 30 of the Director’s Cup since 2015-16. They finished in 35th for the 2020-21 window.
Alberts will cash in on a $500,000 retention bonus if he is still at the school in July of 2026, per McKewon’s report. Alberts also gets a $100,000 bonus if the Huskers’ football program wins the Big Ten and $150,000 if they win the College Football Playoff.
Alberts is already facing a difficult job as the NCAA is reportedly investigating Scott Frost’s program for multiple violations.
Nebraska opens its 2021 season at Illinois on Aug. 28.
