“I have asked Jeremy Martin, my chief of staff, to assume the role of interim director of athletics, and to lead the engagements I announced at the board meeting,” Rowe said. “Later this week, he will share the near- and long-term financial shortfalls W&M Athletics faces, as transparently as possible, so there is a broad understanding of them. And as planned, he will engage sport-specific groups who have asked to contribute practical solutions. That process continues intensively this month, with the goal of minimizing uncertainty for the student-athletes and coaches most directly affected.”
