What about the grass? That shiz is sacred too right?

Not that you're looking for a serious answer, but we do not have sacred grass. The grass surrounding one building on campus (TAMU is the largest campus in the nation, in terms of buildings & square footage; so one building is a just a drop in a very large campus bucket)--the Memorial Student Center--is considered a living memorial:

The grass that surrounds the MSC is considered one of its most important legacies. It is a living memorial dedicated to all Aggies, past or future, who have given or will give their lives in wartime. In order to respect the 955 Aggie soldiers killed in the line of duty, Texas A&M tradition prohibits all Aggies from stepping on the grass that surrounds the building.

It's worse than sacred then
The whole idea behind the grass memorial is that it is LIVING
Son of a bitch, form a human chain of man love to protect it from bama

So is it just Aggies that prevent non-Aggies from doing it?

The grass is also elevated now so you have to really go out of your way to step on it. If you get a kick out of disrespecting soldiers that died for your freedom though go ahead. The folks at Westboro Baptist will think you are awesome.
