Seriously old news...why rehash this.

Everybody knows you can't spell SEC without A&M.

We brought a huge TV market and many, many fans.
That's the point of the article.
Not sure why some have a problem with it.

I mean, not even making fun of Auburn, it's a smaller school than all of those 3 I think and all 3 of those schools are flagship schools.

Extraordinarily ironic given that your sole purpose in frequenting this board is to hurl stale insults at a program that neither considered you a rival nor gave you a second thought after leaving you behind more than four years ago.


My insults are anything but stale. My insults are witty and extraordinary, yet somehow elegantly crude. You should welcome my bombardment of your turdishness like an empty canvass welcomes a goddamn paint brush. Consider it art, aggots.

Posters that sign off on their posts with their username are the biggest douches in all of the Internet.

When you're awash in personal mediocrity with 15-20 ft swells as far as the eye can see, might as well sign off on it.

Synopsis: A&M's football team has more fans than any other school in the SEC.

Not the real one. But looking at the date, maybe they were counting an awful lot of bandwagon fans in the wake of the Cam title?

Can't you arrogant butt pirates just be grateful that you were allowed into this conference?

All you do is try to find some significance in your program when clearly there is none there....

Just enjoy the experience or hit the frickin road.... good grief...

This is why no one wants to have any part Texas teams....

Allowed?
We were invited.
Why is this article bothersome to you?
It's a symptom of size/logistics--we're a huge school in a behemoth state.
Nowhere did anyone say others suck.

The butt pirates thing ... you're funny.

Tbird, can you tell me if I should perceive this as an insult?

Why, yes, yes you should.

Thanks for checking in with an authority first, however. That was responsible of you

Texas A&M was also at the heart of the LHN, but they couldn't come to an agreement on how to split the revenue.

Texas promised ESPN that they could still deliver Texas Highschool sports with the help of A&M, because these were the two Flagship programs in the state and would get very little opposition (Texas also governs the University Interscholastic League). This is why they received the HUGE contract. It wasn't because of Texas, but because of Texas Highschool football.

ESPN wanted to air live TX Highschool games on a network that also showcased both Texas and Texas A&M. The goal was to ultimately "monetize" HS athletics starting in TX.
They wanted to start with TX HS athletics and then ultimatley branch off with an ESPN HS channel. ESPN gambled on the LHN and lost, because they got stuck with a large contract with Texas without content (A&M and TX Highschool athletics).



U idiots live in a dream land. Spoken like the bottom feeder of a pawn school.


Is anything you regurgitate based on reality?

At the end of the day, it is embarrassing that y'all are broke. Atlas Shrugged is a good book, and a lot of the concepts are sound, but it's no replacement for common sense.
