This podcast contains comments from Texas A&M athletics director Trev Alberts, speaking at an A&M system board of regents workshop meeting on August 1, 2024.

Texas A&M athletics director Trev Alberts presented an update to the A&M system board of regents during a workshop meeting on Thursday (August 1).

Alberts, who was named AD on March 13, brought up the department's culture, student-athlete experience, business operations, and the department's challenges and opportunities.

Alberts said this is the first time since 2018 that A&M athletics is not on NCAA probation or in an active investigation.

June's Kyle Field soccer match and George Strait concert generated a profit of roughly $6.5 million dollars.

A reduction of about 18 employees in the athletic department's administration has saved $2 million dollars. Alberts then said there is probably additional room for more staff reductions.

Alberts also brought up how coaches budgets are impacted by the expected court decision where A&M athletes would receive 22 percent of the athletic department's revenue.

Academically, Alberts said the student-athlete cumulative grade point average is the highest ever at just under 3.1. 

And the graduation success rate is among the highest ever at 87 percent, something that Alberts wants to see raised to at least 90 percent.
