LINCOLN, Neb. (KMTV) — Incoming Nebraska athletic director Trev Alberts is confident in how the Huskers will handle the new rules surrounding student-athletes' ability to make money off their name, image & likeness.
"Let's be honest: this is a very uncomfortable time for administrators in college athletics," said Alberts in his introductory press conference on Wednesday. "The key is: we're going to be comfortable being uncomfortable. Because at the end of the day this is about the student-athletes. We're going to support their opportunity to monetize their name, image & likeness. We will be prepared as a University and as an athletic department to have a strategy that best helps our student-athletes be successful. That's everything what Nebraska's always been about. It's not just in the area of competition. We're going to win at everything. That's what Nebraska does."
