Gov. Jim Pillen said Nebraska athletic director Trev Alberts' sudden decision to take the same job at Texas A&M was disappointing, and he implored the university's board of regents Thursday to act quickly to fill vacant leadership positions.

Pillen, a former regent who played football for the Cornhuskers from 1976-78, issued a "call for action" less than 24 hours after Alberts' announcement.

"I am deeply disappointed by Trev Alberts' decision to leave so soon after restating his commitment to Nebraska and I don't fully understand or know his reasons why," the Republican governor said in a statement.
