It is already known that Georgia only cares about winning national championships despite having won their last one 40 years ago. They don’t want to be there. Baylor wins outright

By the way, I’m serious about the last part.

Look, Georgia wasn't interested in the Sugar Bowl last year. They'd just been there 11 years prior. When you go that often, you get bored.

LMAO at these stupid fucks. Like anyone anywhere is gonna believe that bullshit. All we've heard from these dipshits for 8 years is how "The sips are skeered to play us", even though they're the ones who left the rivalry. Then CDC offers to schedule 'em & they predictably 'don't have room on the schedule' (lol), don't care about it (lol), & 'have moved on' (lolololol).
Fuck these hillbillies.
why u insult hillbillies?

They are also going to have to fire up a new boycott because God almighty RC was left off this list...

Another ESPN crock of shit.  Bo Schembechler #20 with zero national titles.  And Frank Broyles #40 nipping at DKR’s heals with one national title and being dominated by DKR over an almost identical time span.

No kidding.  The fact that the SEC will end up 4-5 in those games, while being heavily favored in most, won't even make the ags blink at how stupid this kind of crowing makes them look.

 

 

But those losses will be because the "Game didn't matter", or "Those kids were disappointed in not being in the playoffs", or "they had players sitting out for the draft"

Did you miss the "no" at the top of the chart?

I’m not talking about the NO heading. What I’m gonna lose sleep over is the fact that the criteria for CWS was making the finals. I don’t remember AnM even reaching the semis (a.k.a. Final Four) in any of the major sports. That chart makes it look like they did in baseball.

Yeah, I've seen that chart before and agree.  I have no idea why it uses Top 4 in the other sports, but Top 2 in baseball.  It's odd and misleading.

If the graphic creator wants to eliminate the polls from baseball, then it should say NO Top 4 in football, and NO Final Four in Basketball or Baseball.  Simple fix.

Maybe to get some more teams in the left column and only aggy and nw on the right. How many teams are only on the left because they got to the cws semifinals?

The A&M endowed donor ?Kyle Field lawsuit against A&M was greenlit as a class action suit against the university. Looks like happy days are ahead for aggys who claim their beloved branch agricultural college never does any wrong.

And then there is the other issue that is hanging over the heads of the administrators of A&M and the university itself (the "Christmas present" matter)

The people of Texas deserve better than Texas A&M

Quote

https://www.kjas.com/news/local_news/article_99a580de-186c-11ea-8478-b37c0e336aa1.html

A Newton businessman who graduated from Texas A&M University in 1980 has been granted class action status in a lawsuit against the 12th Man Foundation. He’ll be representing hundreds of Aggies who have held season football tickets and parking spaces at Kyle Field and assert that they have been wronged by the foundation. Meanwhile, a Jasper attorney will part of a team of three law firms which have filed the case.

The lead plaintiff, Nathan Hines, is represented locally by Blair Bisbey of the Seale, Stover, and Bisbey Law Firm of Jasper. The team also consists of Bill Cobb of Cobb & Counsel in Austin, and Scott McQuarrie of the McQuarrie Law Office in Houston.

Bisbey announced on Friday that Hines and the other plaintiffs were granted class action status by the State District Court in Newton County, where the suit was filed.

 

According to Bisbey, at issue is the 12th Man Foundation’s handling of former students, such as Hines, who enjoyed “Permanently Endowed Donors” status.

Bisbey explained that the foundation created a program during the 1970’s when neither Texas A&M football, nor the 12th Man Foundation, was as successful - or profitable – as it is now. Bisbey said “To encourage loyal Ags to open their wallets wide, the struggling 12th Man Foundation promised ‘Permanently Endowed Donors’ the best available seating and parking for life or for 30-years. Over three decades, several hundred loyal Ags, relying on the Foundation’s promises, stepped up to the plate to fund its Permanently Endowed Scholarship Program.”

However, things changed.

In 2012 Texas A&M left the Big 12 Conference, which was a shell of the old Southwest Conference, and joined the highly successful and competitive Southeastern Conference. In the years that followed A&M football was ranked as high as fifth in the nation, and Kyle Field was completely renovated to become the fourth largest football stadium in the country, and filled to the brim for almost every home game.

As the money rolled in, Hines says that he and other former students were cast aside.

Bisbey quoted the Aggie Code of Honor, “An Aggie does not lie, cheat, or steal, nor tolerate those who do”. However Bisbey says the 12th Man Foundation isn’t living up to that creed. “The Foundation reneged on the promises made to Endowment Owners. It did so by reselling their coveted parking locations and, later, their ‘lifetime seat locations’ that Foundation documents show they had been promised, to the ‘next generation’ of big donors in order to fund Kyle Field renovations. By 2017, the Foundation had amassed an endowment of $77 million and net assets of $266 million, partly by breaking its promises to the Endowment Owners”, said Bisbey.

Bisbey went on to say that a trial date has not yet been set, and also that he fully expects counsel representing the 12th Man Foundation to file an appeal against the class action status.

The following is the full statement by attorney Blair Bisbey on behalf of lead plaintiff Nathan Hines:

Statement on Order Granting Class Certification

In Nathan Hines v. Texas A&M University 12th Man Foundation, et al.

Today Aggie football is enjoying great success. Kyle Field is packed and The 12th Man Foundation can sell tickets at premium prices. But it was a different story in the 1970s, 80s and 1990s. Then, attendance wasn’t consistent, and financial support was limited. To encourage loyal Ags to open their wallets wide, the struggling 12th Man Foundation promised “Permanently Endowed Donors” the best available seating and parking for life or for 30-years. Over three decades, several hundred loyal Ags, relying on the Foundation’s promises, stepped up to the plate to fund its “Permanently Endowed Scholarship Program.

 

The Foundation kept its promises while convenient, but as Aggie football became more successful and renovations to Kyle Field were planned, the Foundation saw “an opportunity to earn more revenue” that would serve as the “financial engine that will differentiate [A&M] from [its] competition.”

Although “an Aggie does not lie, cheat or steal, or tolerate those who do,” the Foundation reneged on the promises made to Endowment Owners. It did so by reselling their coveted parking locations and, later, their “lifetime seat locations” that Foundation documents show they had been promised, to the “next generation” of big donors in order to fund Kyle Field renovations. By 2017, the Foundation had amassed an endowment of $77 million and net assets of $266 million, partly by breaking its promises to the Endowment Owners.

Shocked and disappointed, Nathan Hines ’80, asked the Foundation to rethink its position—merely to keep its promises—and to redress their grievances without the need to file suit. But the Foundation had no interest in resolving this matter outside of court.

Left with no other option, Mr. Hines filed suit against the Foundation asking the District Court in Newton County, Texas to hold the Foundation to its word. But Mr. Hines wasn’t seeking justice solely for himself. Instead, he asked to represent a Class of all the Endowment Owners harmed by the Foundation’s broken promises.

Today, the District Court granted Nathan Hines’ request to represent a Class of all Endowment Owners. Hines will thus represent hundreds of aggrieved Aggies, asserting claims against the Foundation for breach of their Endowment Agreements.

The trial date for the Class claims against the Foundation has not yet been set. And the Foundation is expected to appeal. Mr. Hines retains hope, however, that the Foundation will heed the Aggie Code of Honor, acknowledge and correct its mistake, and voluntarily do right by the Endowment Owners.

Seems like those issuing the statement should be throwing stones about the whole aggy code, if they're going to include obvious lies like that in it.

Life or 30 years.  I don't feel like digging up when this 1980 graduate became a well endowed donor, but surely not a lot of time left on that agreement by 2012.  Seems like this could be settled with some coveted seats to some games on aggy's competitive out of conference schedule.

Obviously, you have never tried to use common sense explaining anything to an aggy. They are trained from their first day of fish camp to be their own worst enemy and then blame their problems on "the great burnt orange Satan."

It could also mean there are different classes of permanently endowed donors.  Some got 30 years.  Some got life.

Fair enough.  I'll confess that I'm not curious enough to looks into an aggy class certification pleadings to deep dive into how or why one of those sad saps wants to see that shit show of a team up close in that Kroger branded tackle box.

Nice of aggy to write part of the article for the media.

sooo @Randolph Duke what's the big present/surprise ?!?!

There is a lot of litigation against Texas A&M, and TAMU administrators, on various dockets (Judicial Watch/Qatar, 12th Man reseating, stolen Bynum copyright, etc). Suffice to say that I get contacted from time to time on these matters.

Some stuff related to one of the actions is about to be released. I'm waiting on that release.

Must be the deal about A&M taking unreported foreign money.

I'm sure you'll "release" in more way than one.

Well, sure, but for once you can't accuse them of being two-faced. They showed their true colors on that one.
