Back then, aggy didn't really even need Boz with Johnny Holland, Aaron Wallace, and John Roper at LB.

All 3 were arguably better pros

Also for 2023, Texas A&M reported $12 million in direct institutional support in 2023, the first time since 2014 that it has shown any help for athletics. However, the athletics department's chief financial officer, Jeff Toole, said this was a loan by the university from non-taxpayer funds to assist with another facility project — and it will be repaid by the athletics department.

Where the hell is our $9.95 ecosystem on FOIA requests for documentation of repayment of the loans from 2007 and 2008?  Come on fuckers.  It's the offseason.  Earn you scrip.

Thanks for the whole article but particularly the above. The Aggies preserve their delusion about holy Jack Sherrill by claiming he was never found guilty of anything to do with cheating. I don't recall the details, but his actions depicted in the article make it crystal clear that he was right in the middle of it. I had not doubt, but I also had no documentation or details loaded in the ol' brain pan.

aggy bitches about the BOMC but it sure failed mightily when aggy skated for more than a decade before the no-tv no-bowl sanctions handed down on 6 Jan 94

smew didn't kill the SWC - no one gave a shit when they were executed

but aggy....

the wailing and caterwauling across the state held off the dogs for YEARS and in the end they still got to play their season

aggy are never reported accurately in austin, dallas or houston because the media avoid the blowback by simply ignoring the aggy reality of the day

there were plenty of sec schools (klan, barn...) that had tv bans after aggy

but the only real sanction (TV MONEY) ever taken against a SWC team was the punishment of aggy for the sherrill years

and that was postponed until the rig deal was put together behind the scenes

the reality is, aggy killed the swc and shared killing of the rig along with dr. tom's butthurt

Haha. Just wanted to share it cause if true, it's got to be the strangest coaching decisions of all time and I had never heard it before this year. 

Royal was an OU alum, old teammates were boosters, and he believed in collegial sportsmanship (while beating that ass). He didn’t believe in cheating, though, and Fairbanks and Switzer did.

See bold below.  Anyone else surprised that aggy waited until Texas reported before making up a larger number in any way possible, including using loans and donations as a “revenue” source….yet again, in order to over inflate their numbers.  There is no ncaa standards around this, but I would think they do have to get their books audited.  So which former student mom and pop countin’ firm is certifying this?
 

The Texas A&M athletic department had $279.2 million in operating revenue during its 2023 fiscal year, its new financial report to the NCAA shows.

The document was obtained by USA TODAY Sports through an open-records request in partnership with the Knight-Newhouse Data project at Syracuse University. 

It comes days after the University of Texas’ report showed just over $271 million in operating revenue for 2023.

Guess if they included the money they had to raise to make Jimbo's payoff down payment, it might be close.

As someone who works with several sea aggy grads, I have been informed that the Galveston campus is not a system school in the way that A&M Commerce or A&M Kingsville is.  The Galveston campus is considered a part of the main College Station campus.  Probably a better analogy out there, but it is sort of the aggy version of the Balcones Research Center or whatever it called nowadays.

Does galveston aggy have their own milkmen, do they get JV or split squad milkmen from college station aggy, or do "varsity" milkmen go down to the island on Thursdays, singing tra la la (NTTAWWT) and hitting every Buc-ees along the way (NTTAWWT)?

So $12MM of their made up $279MM was a “loan” from TAMU (that they’ll never pay back), meaning their revenue would actually be less than Texas’ $271MM. And of course they’re falsely including another $53MM.

The irony is that any normal institution wouldn't be continually bragging about their operating budget and supposed revenue when they had SO LITTLE athletic success to show for it!! Aren't they embarrassed to have wasted so much money? 

And when did I wake up to a world where Ohio State just hired away the athletic director who presided over the most embarrassing contract fiasco in the history of athletics business?

This….I don’t believe they’ve ever paid back the “borrowed” academic funds they borrowed when they were moving over to the secsec, years ago.  Duke Randolph could most definitely elaborate.

And it was borrowed at 0% interest I believe, with no required pay back schedule.   So State funded dollars were "loaned" at no interest and with no payback requirement to their athletic department in 2005.  Nothing has been paid back.  We know aggy has no real oversight/auditing, but doesn't the State of Texas?

Aggy is using state money allocated to TAMU College Station and using it to pay for operating expenses for its “satellite” branch TAMU-Qatar. This money is then paid back to TAMU through gifts from the Qatar Foundation. So no there is no oversight with how they are using their money at all.

I sort of vaguely recall it was around $65Megabucks, so if we just add that to Jimbo's buyout severance of around $78Megabucks, we can include the difference - well, or the sum - of $13Megabucks - or $148 Megabucks - to the bottom line. Advantage aggy.
