Earliest reference I could find is a gameday program from an A&M at Texas game in the early 20s. Published by Texas it lists A&M as "Texas Aggies" and Texas as "Texas University" on the cover.
A&M was always the Texas Aggies, Oklahoma State were the Oklahoma Aggies until they changed their mascot officially to the Cowboys in 1958. From 1924 until then they were interchangably called the Aggies or Cowboys. Prior to 1924 they were simply the Oklahoma Aggies from Oklahoma A&M.
It has been a thing forever. New Mexico falls in the same group as well as a few other Aggie schools over the
Syndicated programs & national box scores is what you are referencing. Go look at University published programs & local sports pages.. not the same.
