Three important issues with A&M prior to the 70s.

1. scholarship limits stopped texas from buying up all the talent.

2. all male military academy change to allow females, increasing our overall attendance (money.)

3. No corp membership requirements for players... I believe that the players had to participate in corp activities, but would need confirmation, and more details. I am sure that the schedule was different for the players.

I think TAMU not being coed is a valid excuse for not being able to keep up with UT. That would be valid for any school.

The corps became Non compulsory in the late 60s.

Hey recruits want to come to a college with no women and you have to do military drills at 5:00 am?

It's amazing we ever beat anybody from 1940-1970.
