Counterpoint- in the decade he's been chancellor A&M has basically gotten whatever they wanted out of the legislature. The system as a whole, not just the university. Their appropriations from the lege have been ridiculous to see come through and as I said he has even assisted us a time or 2... I mean the things at the state level that have been moved under the A&M system umbrella that used to be standalone agencies is impressive under Sharp. I keep waiting to see the lege move TDA under A&M just to get rid of the assat that is currently running it.

So they are meeting today and Wednesday?

It gets worse. He played yell leader right before that...and this occurred And he got busted for tweeting at a recruit....

As I understand it we like Sharp. He is a good operator in the legislature and has been a good ally in funding battles. The truly connected aggies that see more than a rivalry in all this love him and value his ability to make the legislature play ball. I can't imagine he didn't know about this. Nor do I think there is a chance in hell they remove him over it. Senator Kolkhorst got on his bad side about not fighting hard enough for A&M initiatives a few years ago and he completely black balled her, no A&M program invites, no extension programs, heck she didn't even get an invite to the Washington County 4-H banquet. Lois got the message before the next session. Who knows Bjork might get canned as a sacrificial offering to the mob, but I genuinely believe he was clueless. Loftin is a joke. He was a joke at A&M which is why Sharp ran him out of town and he was an even bigger joke at Missouri. He is the epitome of a jock sniffer. Now he is in some kind of partnership with Texags or whatever but is considered a valid source on merger talk...

Depending on which theory of who knew what you believe. Sharp knew (according to Finebaum when he owned Lucci) but was told he could not tell anyone, especially his AD. If this is the case, the aggie faithful want Sharp's head.....Which is truly sad because despite what you may think of the man, he has done a fantastic job for the A&M system.

I think your overestimating Colorado's appeal. I could see USC and UCLA going big 10 and Oregon due to Nike....but Colorado has become such a nonentity in college sports it's pathetic. They literally brought nothing financially when they joined the pac..... Arizona isn't much better but they at least have other sports they function in and have a market they bring. I think CSU had higher TV ratings than CU last year.... Tree and Cal may want to go with SC and UCLA given the choice....but who knows if that option is even there. As for selling SC and UCLA on adding tech and okie state et al....it let's them division the conference so they can go back to playing the original pac teams without the zonas and colorado...

Considering that has been tried at one point previously and the SEC said no thanks.....

Heck Jackie Sherrill said 30 years ago the SEC took Arkansas to get Texas.

Sharp and the Aggie president new about it but had to keep their AD in the dark according to Finebaum.

That will all get settled and negotiated. We ain't hanging around that long.

Article I read says LHN ends in 2025...same year as big 12 TV rights and the year our 2nd tier media rights end with big 12. Also Bjork has said they have no veto power. Techs ad says the networks have refused to talk numbers on a new TV contract.

I imagine the NIL figures and expectations have changed.

I am learning I am more a fan of Committing than I am recruiting......

I am pretty certain that was one of the recruiting philosophies of Herman that really blew up in his face with just about everyone.....

"I have actually eaten there"

Yeah not certain he understands what a top list is supposed to convey....

Did they vet this guy with @golfclap first? Need to know if it is a good hire or not before I weigh in....

Yeah we played them on the way to state title in 81. We contained Byerly in 1st half and then he shredded us in 2nd half. Score was tied and we ran out the clock on the goal line to win on possessions because we weren't certain we would stop him if we left any time on the clock. Beat the snot out of Gilmer in the title game...also beat the snot out of Westlake that year also.

No the big knock would just be directing them to @golfclap

CTJ can top that lol

Didn't @golfclap tell you, trust the coaches is a lazy and stupid take and your a bad person and intelligent enough to see the stupidity of this take.

She has a great scene as a belly dancer in "Charlie Wilson's War."
