COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- When Ross Bjork first visited Texas A&M more than two decades ago, the way the old press box at Kyle Field shook as fans locked arms and swayed during the Aggie War Hymn gave him a taste of just how enthusiastic Aggie fans were.
That moment piqued his interest in the university, and after working at several other schools since that day in 1998, Bjork is at Texas A&M after being hired as the school's new athletic director. Bjork, who is the Mississippi athletic director, was introduced on campus on Monday but won't officially begin work until July 8 as he wraps things up at his current job.
