Tarleton State has a football team? Huh. I had no idea.

Yes. They were one of the annual out of conference cupcakes that Gil Steinke and the Fightin' Texas A&I Javelinas would schedule every year, before they hit the meat of their rugged NAIA Lone Star Conference schedule. Big boy football, ya know.

Fuck aggy, but fuck the ncaa more. This one makes no sense.
Yeah, it's aggy, but if a player from that school has had a lifelong dream of being aggy, or would decide aggy is right for him after meeting with them for whatever reason, but now that's completely off the table? How the fuck does this one have anything to do with punishing aggy? It seems more of a punishment of players at that high school by limiting their opportunities for recruitment.


Wouldn’t it be more of a punishment to wind up at aggy? I like to think of this more as the NCAA doing these kids a solid.

A ban on recruiting any prospects from the prospect's high school for the 2019-20, 2020-21 and 2021-222 academic years.

Maybe your dream school should be one that has a history of cheating on a massive scale.

Or that worship confederate war criminals and who have traditions of jizzing in mason jars. But every year they find 30 kids to sign up so there are in fact kids who want to be aggys. I don't see how those kids should be denied that because of the coach's malfeasance. If its that serious maybe they should actually punish him?

Beating a dead horse. We brought them in for $$$. The only thing that would’ve been better would’ve been UT. They aren’t joining a big boy league so here we are.

 

 

ouch that has to hurt

Texas lawmaker seeks AG opinion to clarify who has authority to remove Sully statue

https://www.kbtx.com/2020/07/02/texas-lawmaker-seeks-ag-opinion-to-clarify-who-has-authority-to-remove-sully-statue/

A white "leader" is scared the black people might take down a statue that glorifies a white man that fought to keep black people as slaves asks the government to protect said white man statue because it makes all the white people feel warm and pure inside. 

That place is disgusting. From top to bottom.

Can someone clarify the show cause? Typically this is given to someone who has been fired and any school looking to hire that coach needs to show that their program is in such bad shape that they have cause to hire the coach in question. Basically banning him from the sport. What happens when the coach hasn’t been fired? Do they have to fire him? This seems like more of a suspension than a show-cause.

I'm sure it will be just a matter of time before aggys complain the Gaines statue doesn't look "white enough."

Public Art Competition Honoring Matthew Gaines and the 12th Texas Legislature

Texas A&M University announces competition to commission public art installation

Texas A&M University is announcing an open competition for professional artists or artist teams to commission a site specific public art installation commemorating contributions made by Matthew Gaines, Washington County’s first African American state senator, and the 12th Texas Legislature. The installation will reside on the Texas A&M University campus in College Station, Texas, in a high traffic area near the south side of the new Student Services Building.

Gaines served in the 12th Texas Legislature. He was a vocal supporter of Senate Bill 276, which allowed the state to establish the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas under the Land-Grant College Act of 1862, also known as the Morrill Act. Learn more about Matthew Gaines and the 12th Texas legislature.

  • The Texas A&M football program violated NCAA recruiting and countable athletically related activity rules between January 2018 and February 2019, according to an agreement released by the Division I Committee on Infractions. The head football coach also violated NCAA head coach responsibility rules.

    The university, head coach and NCAA enforcement staff agreed that the head coach and an assistant coach had impermissible recruiting contact with a prospect at his high school. The conversation was impermissible because it occurred before the completion of the prospect’s junior year in high school.

    Regarding the countable athletically related activity violations, during permissible weeks of spring and summer activity, the football program unintentionally caused student-athletes to exceed activity time limits by approximately seven hours.

    According to the agreement, the head coach failed to promote an atmosphere of compliance because of his personal involvement in the recruiting violation. The agreement also said the head coach failed to monitor his staff when he did not ensure the program was staying within the allowable number of countable athletically related activity hours.

    The university, head coach and the enforcement staff used ranges identified by the Division I membership-approved penalty guidelines for Level II-mitigated penalties agreed upon for the university and assistant coach and Level II-standard penalties for the head coach. Those and other penalties, approved by the Committee on Infractions, are detailed below:

  • One years of probation.
  • A fine of $5,000.
  • A reduction in football official visits by 17 days during the 2019-20 academic year.
  • An off-campus recruiting ban for the entire football coaching staff for November 2019, which reduced the permissible evaluation days for the 2019-20 academic year by 19.
  • A seven-day off-campus recruiting ban for the football coaching staff for the 2020 spring off-campus recruiting period and a 10-day off-campus recruiting ban for the football coaching staff for the 2020 fall off-campus recruiting period.
  • The university ended its recruitment of the prospect.
  • A ban on recruiting any prospects from the prospect's high school for the 2019-20, 2020-21 and 2021-222 academic years.
  • A six-month show-cause order for the head coach. The terms of the show-cause order include a previously served nine-day ban on phone calls, emails or texts with prospects in January 2020; a reduction in off-campus recruiting contact days by three for the December 2019 through January 2020 contact period; a ban on all off-campus recruiting activities for the fall 2020 contact period; additional one-on-one rules education; and a public statement from the head coach addressing the violations.

  • A six-month show-cause order for the assistant coach. The terms of the show-cause order include a previously served nine-day ban on phone calls, emails or texts with prospects in January 2020; a reduction in off-campus recruiting contact days by three for the December 2019 through January 2020 contact period; a ban on all off-campus recruiting activities for the fall 2020 contact period; and additional one-on-one rules education.

¡Pooooooooooooooooooooooooooobrecito los aggys!

Any idea on what high school it was? Major lulz if it was some factory like IMG, Bishop Gorman, North Shore, or Duncanville.

i think it would be even funnier if it is Tomball HS especially considering all the drama that surrounded that whole thing and that the coach at Tomball is a major aggy

Stunned I tell you, stunned.  Who would have ever thought the Aggies would cheat in football?   By the way, are they the National Champs at cheating?  If so, maybe they can put that on their wall.

Hmmm, receiving their 8th(?) NCAA sanctions may indeed put them at the top.  EDIT- Looked it up. They move from tied for fourth most penalized to tied for third most penalized. Plus they are now one of the five most penalized teams.

College Sports Dealmakers Treat Tampons Same as Porn, Politics and Tobacco

(Story has been corrected to show Texas A&M receives a $5 million subsidy over the lifetime of its contract and not on an annual basis.)

https://www.sportico.com/2020/leagues/college-sports/college-athletics-departments-marketers-restrict-tampons-like-tobacco-1234608367/

"The deals done and decisions made by the third-party provider reflect the university and its athletic department. As a result, many institutions include specific clauses to protect their brand preemptively by outlining off-limits categories for advertising, marketing or sponsorships. Almost all dictate that rights holders abide by NCAA and conference guidelines when forging partnerships, but many also more clearly outline restricted realms.

These excluded categories typically relate to illegal or vice-connected companies, but some extend well beyond – even to the world of feminine hygiene products. Texas A&M, Oregon, Nebraska, Oklahoma State and potentially more schools categorize sanitary napkins, tampons, panty liners, menstrual cups, period underwear, douches and more in the same vein that they do escort services, sexually explicit materials, sexual enhancement products, erectile dysfunction medications, alcohol, politics, gambling, casinos and tobacco products. One of the contracts – Nebraska’s – goes so far as to list sexual enhancement and feminine hygiene products as one category."

 

"Schools like Texas A&M are as explicit in their prohibitions but cast a wider net. The Aggies’ current contract with Learfield specifically excludes sponsorships that directly promote prophylactics, erectile dysfunction mediation, feminine hygiene products, sexually explicit materials and “other morally distasteful or offensive products or services which are inconsistent with or appropriate for association with a world-class institution of higher education.” Most of the restrictions written into the Aggies’ agreement – which generates a guaranteed $9-13.5 million annually in revenue on an increasing basis in addition to a $5 million capital subsidy – carried over from its 2006 contract with the company."

So the aggy contract prohibits advertising by products that are inappropriate for UT

Well by the time Jimbo's contract is up, they'll be in the lead.

That entire conference cheats its ass off, but fuck the Aggies and lol at them getting caught.  God forbid if we ever get caught cheating, hopefully the results are better than 4th place division finishes.

 

If you're going to break the rules, make an effort to win a few games.
