Monday’s reported layoffs of at least 13 employees of the Texas Longhorns athletic department was only the beginning of changes that athletics director Chris Del Conte is instituting, according to new reporting from Chip Brown of Horns247 and a Thursday release from the school.
In further efforts to improve efficiency and reduce the ratio of athletic department employees to student athletes to something closer to the national norm, Brown reports that more than 40 full-time employees will depart.
Additionally, Del Conte added two key executive staff positions, hiring former TCU assistant athletics director Drew Martin as Executive Senior Associate Athletics Director for External Affairs and Shawn Eichorst as Executive Senior Associate Athletics Director for Internal Affairs.
