Aggies just do Aggie shit. Which is code for ... fucking stupid shit. Just focusing on recent history of stupidity...
This week they were proudly identified among the most conservative college campuses in the nation. But fiscally they are really, really really dumb. They just botched a hire where they gave a settlement to the head of the UT department of Journalism... Because they were so conservative, they allowed the evil of diversity to not want a former A&M graduate who made an incredible name for herself. Cost $1 million.
They also love to make long term guaranteed football head coach contracts. Where they paid Kevin Sumlin 10 million not to coach, after amassing a .667 winning percentage. And presently are looking at a $70 Million buyout of Jimbo Fisher. Since Jimbo signed his 10 year no cut contract prior to the 2021 season the Aggies have had a #1 recruiting class and a 15-12 record with their a $9 million a year coach! Here is the buyout by year for Fisher-
Jimbo Fisher's Buyout: Amount & Breakdown
2022: $85,950,000.
2023: $76,800,000.
2024: $67,550,000.
2026: $48,750,000.
2027: $39,200,000.
2028: $29,550,000.
2029: $19,800,000.
2030: $9,950,000.
I too believe that A&M is a very socially conservative campus. But the amount of money they spend where they receive nothing at all in return, is staggering. And that is FUCKING STUPID!
