I assume he's got a few more years at ISU, then spends his retirement in Panora. He's got a nice setup there.No inside info at all, but I'm confident Pollard will retire here as long as the university will keep him.

So I have to wonder... does the AD have to budget for the jacko' jars or how's that get paid for? I assume at this point they've invested in Ball.Trev Alberts is a colossal Dbag. Will fit in well in College Station, what a weird and creepy place. Simultaneously sad he is no longer at Nebraska, made it easy to dislike them.
At times it seems like he struggles to deal some of the fans with crazy expectations here at ISU where most people understand the task at hand. I do not think he'd do well in a much higher profile job with a fanbase like Nebraska.While not "old", and while people in his position often times have egos and a desire for new opportunities driving their decisions, I can't fathom wanting to spend your final years working at Nebraska. At least at Iowa State the expectations are fairly in-check by all but the vocal minority. He'd have a bigger budget but he'd have to deal with the **** going on in the B1G and more pressure to be a big player in NIL. Those are headaches largely absent at ISU.

Now I see the huge Landus link to ISU. Carstens had a big lake house there also. Didn’t understand why a cooperative would spend that much money at a school. When there isn’t much choice of co-ops.I assume he's got a few more years at ISU, then spends his retirement in Panora. He's got a nice setup there.
Neither was Les Miles. But he took the KU job, banked like $10M and then proceeded to absolutely not try very hard at work.Yep, makes you wonder what is going on at Nebraska in the administration there. I get it everybody loves money and I'm sure Alberts is getting a nice raise to go to A&M but I don't think Trev was hurting for money even before he got into Athletic Administration. With it being his alma mater thought he might be more loyal but who knows what's going on behind the scenes there.
I think Jamie has shown he's a legacy guy. He's got his guys in place and I doubt he would chase a bigger paycheck to tarnish that. My guess is he retires at some point and if he takes another job it would be an advisory type with the NCAA or whatever entity is running college sports at that time.While not "old", and while people in his position often times have egos and a desire for new opportunities driving their decisions, I can't fathom wanting to spend your final years working at Nebraska.

Tell me you've never lived in nebraska without saying it outright.I think Aggies are worse than Huskers.
I've gotten the "living in the past" vibe with N but never the "cult" vibe.
Yes we have our complainers but it's still small potatoes compared to what a lot of schools are like. I like Pollard but think he's probably too thin-skinned to work at a lot of these places.The one thing is that I could see Pollard getting ground down with ISU fans (online) complaining about almost everything he does these days. But yeah he's not leaving, especially with CyTown in the works.
Fans are a part of the job. Jamie isn't bothered by fan opinions.The one thing is that I could see Pollard getting ground down with ISU fans (online) complaining about almost everything he does these days. But yeah he's not leaving, especially with CyTown in the works.
