Nebraska is finalizing a six-year deal to make Washington athletic director Troy Dannen the school's new athletic director, sources told ESPN.
The hiring of Dannen gives Nebraska an immediate replacement for Trev Alberts, who left for Texas A&M last week. It also gives the school an experienced athletic director who brings a strong football background and both Midwest ties and immediate familiarity with the Big Ten.
Dannen came to Washington in early October and oversaw a busy few months. He replaced Kalen DeBoer with Jedd Fisch as football coach in the wake of Washington's College Football Playoff run and fired basketball coach Mike Hopkins.
