AUBURN, Ala. – Auburn head coach Bruce Pearl has promoted Reagan Sparks from student manager to graduate assistant.
A recent graduate of Auburn earning her bachelor’s degree in industrial and systems engineering with a minor in supply chain management from the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering, her duties include assisting with team travel, day-to-day operations and data and analytics.
“The operation of running a Power 5 men’s basketball program is way more complex than it used to be,” Pearl said. “All the components of a basketball operation – working with various philanthropies, including the Bruce Pearl Family Foundation, community service, development and recruiting – requires tremendous administrative skill and time.

I am happy to be able to promote her to graduate assistant.”…
