he was a big advocate of the athletic program. he was critical in that transition period before May took over. don't think Hawkins would be here if Hexter hadn't been there to work things out.
I'm glad to see that he is staying on with the university in a teaching and research capacity. He was a strong supporter of Aggie Athletics during a difficult time for the university.
I never know whether to take these things at face value, that he just wants to get back to classics, or if there’s dirty laundry in play, either being forced out politically or cutting and running before some controversy implicates him.
