Some wounds simply never heal.
In the case of the story of Nebraska-Omaha wrestling and Trev Alberts, the scar left behind from ten year ago was reopened when Alberts was named athletic director at Nebraska, his alma mater. It likely was the only school Alberts would have left UNO for. But back in Omaha, Alberts leaves behind two diametrically opposed legacies. One is a revitalized athletic department that no longer in danger of being eliminated, with hockey, basketball, baseball and soccer reaching unprecedented heights. To supporters of those programs, there’s a cute little catch phrase (“Trev is dreamy”) that highlights how UNO fans couldn’t have even dreamed 12 years ago where the Mavericks are today.
