Texas A&M athletics lays off more than a dozen staff members
Texas A&M’s athletic department laid off more than a dozen staffers Tuesday, including several high-ranking administrators.
Among those released Tuesday were Justin Moore, executive deputy athletics director and chief operating officer, as well as Chris Park, deputy athletics director for external relations and business development, and Tyler Pigg according to a sources with knowledge of the situation.
Associate athletics director for equipment and apparel Matt Watson, A&M Class of 1995, confirmed he was one of the cuts after serving in the Aggie equipment room for 34 years. He will be able to draw his retirement early, he confirmed.

New Texas A&M athletics director Trev Albert told The Eagle that the layoffs were not related to budgetary concerns regarding former head coach Jimbo Fisher’s buyout, but “reorganization related to existing and emerging threats to our business model.”

employees
and so it begins.. salary cap incoming
I don't really understand the people who think a salary cap is coming or would fix anything.
College football is different than the NFL in that we have boosters who are willing to spend stupid amounts of money to see the school they graduated from (or support without graduating from) succeed.
The courts have made it clear that it's going to be okay going forward for these boosters to give money to recruits and players dependent upon them playing for a school and that no restriction by the colleges or NCAA (or any other organization) will be allowed to limit that.
That means even if you pay players and institute a salary cap on what their paid from the school, the boosters will still be able to set up NIL deals to pay the players above the salary cap to play at the school.
As long as it's legal to do that and boosters still want to pay stupid amounts of money for their team to succeed, no salary cap will work for college football. Professional teams don't have boosters like college football does. The professional model of balancing the playing field only works if boosters disappear.
There's never really been any logical reason for boosters to exist. It doesn't make sense to give prospects thousands or millions of dollars just for your alma mater to win football games any more than giving money to pro-players through advertising deals to sign with your favorite pro-team makes sense. That's completely legal, but it's a non-factor in the pro game because pro football fans don't have the mentality of throwing money at pro athletes just to get them to sign for their favorite team.
But that mindset exists in college. And as long as it does, with the courts decisions on NIL, salary caps in college serve no purpose.

This morning, we met with several individuals to inform them that, in light of the upcoming changes to our administrative structure, they will not be employees of the athletics department in the future. These changes are difficult and let me state emphatically, these people have done nothing wrong.
Their job was to post here and dickride bama while trying to create a rivalry with LSU.
They, like their football team,
Failed.

From my point of view, it isn’t about the money.. it is about making the “athletes” an employee so that you can actually make rules and enforce them..
Ie contracts.. transfers.. etc
Part of making them an employee will be some kind of salary.. and therefore there will be a salary cap.. perhaps a draft as well..
I believe this would eliminate all the legal challenges that are going on today.
I also may be completely wrong.. just my opinion that something like this is brewing..

Honestly, every AD could randomly fire 1/4 to 1/3 of the civilian "support staff" and there would be no noticeable difference in operations.

I always thought rock bottom for aggie was in 2010 when they had to abandon on-campus toilet paper but this is a new low.
I hope the trophy was worth it.

How is a three year starter at Center not performing?
I don't blame him for it because he truly is an Olympic caliber athlete, but a lot of folks feel he is too focused on Track to be completely bought in on football. Plus, he has been injured or sick a lot the last few years which didn't help
