Ross Bjork leaves Texas A&M to become athletic director at Ohio State

Texas A&M is back in search of a major figure, this time it is for an athletic director after news broke that is taking the same gig at Ohio State. Ross Bjork, 51, arrived at Texas A&M from Ole Miss in 2019 to become Texas A&M’s fourth athletic director since 2012, following Bill Byrne, Eric Hyman, and Scott Woodard in the role. 

Bjork’s tenure will be remembered for the extension given to former head coach Jimbo Fisher, which resulted in a record-breaking $76 million dollar buy out following the 2023 season. He helped the Aggies hire new head coach Mike Elko from Duke in December.
