Texas A&M athletic director Eric Hyman resigns

In a bit of a shocking move, Texas A&M athletic director Eric Hyman announced his resignation on Tuesday via a statement.

"I appreciate my time here at Texas A&M University and I am proud of our student-athletes' achievements both on the field and in the classroom. The best part of an AD's job is forming wonderful relationships with student-athletes, colleagues, former students, and Texas A&M has been no exception."

Hyman took over the athletic director position in 2012 from Bill Byrne, taking over during Texas A&M's move from the Big 12 to the SEC. No potential placement or interim athletic director for the school is known as of now.
