I want to thank Eric for the service he has provided Texas A&M during his time as athletic director,” said President Michael K. Young. “He has shown a high level of integrity and professionalism in his role as AD and improved both our student-athlete academic and athletic performance through facility improvements, nutritional enhancement through the RC Slocum Nutritional center and preparation for life after college through upgrading the Life Skills program.  His relationships and insights within the Southeastern Conference have been extraordinarily helpful to Texas A&M Athletics along with his five-year strategic plan.  I fully expect Eric to make a positive impact in whatever endeavor he pursues next.”

A&M said student-athlete overall GPA and APR have increased during Hyman's tenure and that he helped lead the school in the transition to the SEC.

Hyman will continue in the position until a new AD is hired.
