That's why the administration made the extension when they did. The timing of the extension seemed very odd. Now, we know why.

A&M was never going to let him walk without an offer. The timing is right considering that they probably began working on it during the bye week

Y'all could have dodged a bullet. The man hasn't even played anybody. Probably just gonna be another Aggie joke.

(oops, sorry I said I wouldn't go there)

Sure they were working on an extension. But, I doubt very much they wanted to do a pregame signing.

At least the team can be focused now that Elko is confirmed to be staying. Almost cost them though ...

Indeed. Just thought it was interesting how everyone was able to keep it so quiet

He now makes just a very small amount more than Sark


Sark has won what? A big 12 title in a year when there were no other good teams.

I'm not sure who to call out for that stupidity.

Is the penn state offer the reason A&M lost in the first half?

It’s in line with what coaches at big programs make

We should both be glad it’s not 15-20

I’m not sure if that was intended to be a self own or a rhetorical kamikaze attack but both seem applicable.

I'm not sure A&M wanted to take this step just yet, but with all the programs looking they had to shoot their shot. I do believe Elko is a great fit in College Station.

We are now paying a fair wage to a coach that has our team 10-0

They are paying the same wage to a coach that will probably finish 8-4 or 7-5


I think I’m happy with it

As do I. Smart move by A&M. Good on them. Pulling for the Aggies the rest of the year (though in a perfect world all of you would lose - every single team).
