Texas A&M laying off athletic department staff in response to ‘existing and emerging threats to our business model,’ per Trev Alberts (msn.com)

The article quotes the AD (former talking head / blowhard Trev Alberts) as saying that Jimbo's buyout didn't have anything to do with the "threat to [the] business model."
