If you follow the Hogs, this one matters. University of Arkansas System President announced his resignation Thursday, less than two years into the job, to become president of Purdue University. Purdue's Board of Trustees announced its decision to hire him Thursday. He's expected to start Feb. 1.

The athletics review isn't leaving with him yet. UA System communications director Nate Hinkel wrote in an email that the board expects Silveria to keep working in Arkansas until he starts at Purdue, including on the review of Razorback athletics that trustees ordered Sept. 18. A UA System news release confirmed the move.

  • Purdue's search: Silveria chosen from more than 100 candidates
  • Purdue's size: more than 50,000 students in West Lafayette, Ind.
  • Perks: housing, a vehicle and a private driver

That's a $388,000 increase over his base salary at the UA System.

Arkansas is 3-5 overall and 1-4 in the SEC, with Auburn, No. 21 South Carolina, No. 7 Texas and No. 14 LSU still on the November schedule. No concrete details of the review have been made public.

Razorbacks

Arkansas and Auburn, both looking for a win, meet Saturday at 11:45 a.m. on SEC Network

If you're watching college football Saturday morning, set the alarm. Arkansas (3-5, 1-4 SEC) visits Auburn (4-4, 2-4) at 11:45 a.m. on SEC Network from . It's a reunion of sorts: Auburn coach Alex Golesh was falsely rumored to be Arkansas' hire during the coaching search, and Ryan Silverfield is the coach who actually got the job.

  • Silverfield's hire date: Nov. 30
