Texas' Del Conte Fills Out Exec Cabinet With Two New Hires

The Univ. of Texas hired TCU Associate AD/Marketing & Licensing Drew Martin and former Nebraska AD Shawn Eichorst as Exec Senior Associate ADs, which "complete" UT AD Chris Del Conte’s executive-level cabinet, a "six-member group that will meet every week," according to Brian Davis of the AUSTIN AMERICAN-STATESMAN. Martin, who had been at TCU since '12, will "oversee external matters like marketing, the school’s relationship with Longhorn Network and IMG, media relations and what Del Conte said was 'anything that is game-day environment.'" Del Conte said that Eichorst will "handle internal matters, which includes overseeing the business office, human resources and things involving UT policy and procedure." Del Conte said that UT Women's AD Chris Plonsky "will now be his 'chief of staff' and oversee all student services, like academic services and nutrition," things Del Conte called “the heart and soul of our athletic program” (AUSTIN AMERICAN-STATESMAN, 6/8).
