New Aggies athletic director Trev Alberts said it wasn’t easy to leave Nebraska, but the opportunity at Texas A&M was too great to pass up.
COLLEGE STATION — Trev Alberts prior to this week did not know Texas A&M football coach Mike Elko personally. “But I know of him, and that’s a real football coach,” Alberts said Monday upon his introduction as A&M’s new athletic director. “He knows how to build a culture, and he knows how to build a tough team. I’m excited to get to work with him.” Like Alberts, Elko is new to A&M as well, at least in his top boss position.
“This ought to be a place athletic directors come to die — the very best ones ought to want to be at Texas A&M. Our athletic department ought to be exceptional all the time in every sport, and I think he sees that potential as well.” Alberts is jumping right in at A&M and will sport maroon later this week as both the A&M men’s and women’s basketball teams take on Nebraska in the opening round of their respective NCAA Tournaments.
