This podcast contains comments from the November 30, 2023 special meeting of the Texas A&M system board of regents.

Texas A&M and new head football coach Mike Elko now have an official contract.

That follows approval by the board of regents during a special meeting Thursday (November 30) morning.

The regents first met in private for 25 minutes with interim president Mark Welsh and athletics director Ross Bjork.

Following the executive session, Welsh said the contract is in "alignment with the terms of the memorandum of understanding previously signed by myself, the athletic director, and coach Elko last weekend."

Bjork said "we believe it's a very fair contract given the current landscape of college football, incentive based on the new college football playoff format".

The only board comment before their eight to nothing vote was chairman Bill Mahomes of Dallas offering his congratulations.

Absent from the meeting was regent John Bellinger of San Antonio.
