Nebraska athletic director Trev Alberts, shown here during his introductory news conference, has a five-year contract that can top $1 million annually with bonuses.
Steven M. Sipple, Parker Gabriel and Chris Basnett recap a news-filled Wednesday that was headlined by an NCAA investigation into Nebraska’s football program. The guys get into what it means and what the ramifications could be. That’s followed by a discussion about the latest on-field developments from the week, including a TE room that’s getting healthy, the status of LT Turner Corcoran and the way the RB room is shaping up.
Nebraska athletic director Trev Alberts has a five-year contract to lead the department, according to a copy of his contract obtained by the Journal Star via records request.
NU shared his full contract for the first time on Friday afternoon.
Alberts, who will make a salary of $800,000 in Lincoln, led the University of Nebraska-Omaha Athletic Department for 12 years before he was introduced as the head of the department at NU on July 14 and formally began his duties on July 19.
In 2020 at UNO, Alberts’ salary was $255,000.
In addition to his salary, Alberts can make up to $220,000 in bonuses annually based on NU’s performance in the LearfieldIMG College Directors’ Cup, which measures athletic performance across sports.
The annual target bonus is set at $200,000, which Alberts receives if NU finishes between No. 16 and No. 20 in the rankings. He gets slightly less for anywhere between No. 30 and No. 20 and slightly more if the Huskers finish in the top 15. Alberts receives no bonus if Nebraska finishes outside the top 30.
Nebraska has not cracked the top 30 in the Directors’ Cup standings in either of the past two years in which the full rankings were finalized. For 2020-21, NU was No. 35. Before the COVID-19 pandemic halted all spring sports, Nebraska finished No. 48 in 2018-19.
