re: Thanks to SEC and Heisman - A&M receives record 37,000 applications

this thread is funny

37,000 applications for 8,000 freshman spots.

Now... aren't you glad you left the Horns Conference behind?

So because the original intent of the PUF (which was basically worthless land when it was granted) was to create a "University of the First Class" Texas should not consider any changes no matter how big it gets or how large the population of Texas becomes?

Texas is the effectively the same size today as it was when I enrolled at A&M in 1989. Yet at the same time the PUF has exploded and there are 10 million more people in the State with over 500k new ones a year. Yet you think the solution is for Texas to stay the same size and share as little PUF money as possible?. That solution will result in a continued brain drain of the best and brightest in Texas because they won't have options for getting a Tier 1 or Tier II education?

Texas doesn't even need the money. It is severely limited on what it can be spent on in terms of buildings and infrastructure. It is disgusting as an Austin taxpayer I am going to have to pay even more taxes to pay for the new hospital because Texas wanted to use as little PUF money as possible. As I said, Texas treats the PUF as "their money" and not the people's money. You aren't a private school and your mission is to the people of the State.

It's pathetic you keep trying to make some bizarre point about how the Texas Constitution originally wrote how the school system would be structured seeing as how that is never how it has been implemented and Texas didn't even exist as a University until several years later when A&M was already functioning. The schools and systems are separate and always have been.

Texas is still Texas and you are still aTm. Settle down.

I'm pretty sure most schools would rather be A&M right now than a school who is about to get blasted with a shitstorm of epic proportions only surpassed by Miami and Penn State.

***snooze***

Let this thread die and let's talk of the most dangerous time to a football program, The Offseason.

Fulmer Cup is up for grabs.

no, they stopped recruiting Johnny early on. They weren't even going to offer him as a DB. I got that straight from his fathers mouth.

And they were in full swing of the Garrett Gilbert experiment. Who gives a shite? Drew Brees would have done anything to go to A&M. It is just as relevant.

He's talking about the apparent cover up that Dodds did when he slapped Major Applewhite on the wrist for banging a trainer.

The reall issue is that Texas fired a track coach who had a sexual relationship years ago.

That track coach is about to put the hurt on Texas if inclined to do so.

DeLoss Dodds has put his job in jeopardy and put the university in a very tenuous spot.

Their BOR has called an emergency meeting on the subject scheduled for Tuesday.

Major Applehead had an affair with a student trainer while his wife was 9 months prego and got to keep his job.

Meanwhile, they found out womens track coach Bev Kearney had a relationship with one of her track kids 10 years ago and forced her to resign under threat of being fired.

pretty blatant double standard that is gonna frick them in her lawsuit against the school.

And who knows what will happen if people do their due diligence with FOIA? What other shite like this has happened? And how does that letter DeLoss Dodds sent Major become public record? Aren't there shady people at tu that would just not make a copy and file that shite? Seems like an easy solution.
