Nothing was as challenging as what Kennedy and his staff faced on the recruiting trail. Multiple times, Aggies assistants were informed that opposing coaches were telling prospects they should avoid Texas A&M because Kennedy had Parkinson's disease. At times, they even resorted to telling lies.

"Kennedy isn't going to live out his contract."

"He'll never be at practice because he'll be in the hospital all the time."

"You won't get to know him because he'll only show up for games."

"One coach even told [a recruit] that he might catch Parkinson's from being around Billy," Aggies assistant Kyle Keller said. "It was unbelievable. Billy is the nicest guy I've ever come across in this profession. There's not a better, more upstanding person in our business than him.
