Sources: UIL athletic director Susan Elza to join Nebraska football staff

Dr. Susan Elza, the athletic director of the University Interscholastic League, will resign to become the new chief of staff for the Nebraska Cornhuskers under new coach Matt Rhule, sources tell Dave Campbell's Texas Football. The deal is expected to become official next week.

Elza would leave the UIL after more than seven years as the head of athletics for the governing body of Texas interscholastic activities. Before her hire at the UIL in September 2015 — the first woman to hold the position — Elza was athletic director for Northwest ISD and assistant athletic director for Allen ISD. An accomplished softball coach, Elza spent several successful seasons on the diamond at both Allen and Garland.
