Five Heart Podcast Episode 234: A Monumental Hire - Rob Childress. Trev Albert And Texas’ Preferential Treatment From Our Old Buddy Greg Burks

Todd and I get together for another episode of the Five Heart Podcast! It’s a grand old time as we discuss the latest monumental hire of Rob Childress as director of player development for the Nebraska baseball program. Then there’s this other hire that happened this week as Trev Alberts is Nebraska’s athletic director. Neither Todd nor I are that impressed with this hire. We discuss that. KEEP IN MIND - that just because neither of us are really positive on this hire that we want Mr. Alberts to fail. I speak for myself when I say that I hope he’s incredibly successful to the point that my questioning of this hire is ridiculed for ages to come. We also wonder if Nebraska’s media has asked Mr. Alberts about his dismissal of the UNO Wrestling program and given him a chance to clear the air. Enjoy the podcast! Give us some feedback!

The Counter Bootleg - Episode 12: Not Quite Sold On Trev Alberts...Yet

It’s been a couple months since the last episode of The Counter Bootleg Podcast.In the 12th episode I quickly discuss who I wanted as Athletic Director. Spoiler alert - Trev Alberts was not my first pick.Then I went over my initial reaction to the news that Trev Alberts would be the new athletic director at Nebraska. As I say in the podcast my immediate reaction was, “OH, COME ON!.”After several hours of thinking about the hire the excitement dissipated and I reevaluated my initial reactions.If you listen to the podcast I bet you will find that you probably also had a lot of the same thoughts one way or the other. I still don’t know where I land on the decision but regardless he’s the one they picked and now all I can do is hope he is successful.Please give it a listen!Please subscribe and download the podcast.

Jon’s Postlife Crisis: Stephen Stokols, CEO Of Boost Mobile Talks NIL

Name, Image, and Likeness - NIL - goes into effect TODAY. This is one of the biggest developments in college athletics, EVER. CAPITAL LETTERS EVERYWHERE! I got the chance to interview Boost Mobile’s CEO Stephen Stokols about NIL. Boost Mobile is sponsoring Hanna and Haley Cavinder, twin guards on the Fresno State women’s basketball team. The Cavinder twins have one of the biggest social media followings of any current NCAA athletes as between them, they have over 5 million total followers across Twitter, YouTube, Instagram and TikTok. NIL will be interesting because it may benefit small business more than it will massive companies like Verizon, Nike, etc. College athletics is very regional in nature. A local bakery shop could get more mileage out of sponsoring a local college basketball player because that player wouldn’t even show up on a large company’s radar. We talk about some of these issues in the interview. Mr. Stokols talks very fast. There is a LOT going on, and there will be an explosion of announcements about this over the next few days. One point of confusion. We kind of go back and forth about today or tomorrow. I say “Today” because the content wouldn’t be released until Thursday. He says “tomorrow” because he thinks I’m putting something out immediately. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
