With all the recent posts debunking the myth of aggy athletic excellence.. the exposure of their false claims extends to their "We rich!" BS.

quote:

In a Senate Finance Committee hearing in the bowels of the state Capitol, A&M President Michael Young requested “equity” funds of around $27.5 million a year, the same amount a preliminary state budget has earmarked for the Austin flagship.

“At the moment our challenge is, with our per-student funding going down, it will become very hard to sustain this,” Young said. The school might have to consider shrinking the student body of the university or making other accommodations based on the “resources that we have available,” he said.


Amazing considering aggy has leeched $1.5B.. yes, $1.5 billion in funding from the state since 2011.

Can't wait for the aggy lemmings fairytale on this most recent "conspiracy" attempt to falsely shame them.

I think you're missing the point.

Pay attention to the key language used by Young:

If ut gets $27.5 m
A$M should also receive $27.m

Only fair. Even if they don’t need it.

Wow, it's taking a long time for SmartPost, MontgomeryHill, and Pancho & Lefty to come in and agree.

Guess it takes a while to sign in and out of all those handles.

I’ve read that link twice now.
I’m not seeing anything that paints Texas A&M in a negative light, so I’m curious about the purpose of your thread.
The article addresses the issue of inequity, which is a valid discussion.
quote:

In 2017, when most public colleges were threatened with funding cuts, UT was granted a $55 million “hold harmless” payment to ensure the school’s allocation was at least held flat. While colleges are not expected to face the same slashes this budget cycle, institutions that received hold harmless funding, like UT-Austin, had those line items maintained.

quote:

State Sen. Paul Bettencourt, a Houston Republican and a member of the committee, said in response that the "equity argument is important because these are our two flagship universities." He mentioned a state program called Hazlewood, which offers veterans and some of their dependents free tuition at public colleges — and noted it also disproportionately affects A&M's budget.

The arrogance of Texas fans is insane. Only 2 sports are important - football and men's basketball. In the last 50 seasons of both, Texas has 1 title. Quit pretending that you matter.
