DescriptionFormer Texas Comptroller John Sharp could be the next chancellor of the Texas A&M University System, sources said Friday afternoon.

The A&M Board of Regents is looking to replace Dr. Mike McKinney, who resigned the post earlier this year.

A search committee that has been reviewing resumes and talking to potential candidates will make a recommendation to the full board of regents on Monday. The board can then vote to name one or more finalists and after the finalists have been posted publicly, they can name a chancellor. Two sources told the Tribune that Sharp will get the recommendation. Washington lobbyist Fred McClure, who was student body president in 1976 and is a former A&M regent, is in the running. Wendy Gramm, an economist and wife of former U.S. Sen. Phil Gramm, asked to be considered but didn't make the final cut, the sources said.
