re: SIAP...it appears Texas A&M's NIL money is more coal than oil

You might want to check out the endowments of LSU compared to A&M before you show off your ignorance.

Endowment has nothing to do with athletic department cash flow, cash available to pay recruits, how many big time boosters you have, or anything else other than your university’s weird obsession with keeping up with Texas in every way possible.

A&M’s endowment is the college football equivalent of someone who doesn’t make very much money obsessively saving for a too-big-house then using it as evidence that they’re actually rich to everyone who points out that their car is broken down and they’re financially in shambles. Everyone knows that y’all collectively donate a disproportionate amount to the university endowment on an individual level. I feel like I’m talking to a bunch of Bernie Sanders supporters in 2016 bragging about how big his war chest was because they donated their last Starbucks barista paycheck to it in full.

Maybe I’d give a shite about LSU’s endowment if I’d ever donated to it or even knew how. Our money goes to athletics which is why we’re so much better than A&M in that regard
