Then please better explain why you think the only reason this story was written for ESPN is b/c we are a rival to Texas.

I just don't see how that has ANY relevance to what happened and why this would be written.

You basically implied that if this had happened w/a kid from say, Syracuse, this story would never have been written. I just can't agree w/that at all.

There are plenty of other situations that could be written about, but they choose A&M? Why? Because we dared threaten the success of their investment in the LHN. Stay woke.

No RC, I implied that because we are a bigger program, in a bigger conference, and a big target for a school they actively prop up, this fell onto ESPN's radar.

If we were UTEP, LaTech, Iowa State, Louisville, on and on, ESPN would have never cared about a tragic story involving a mentally ill person that played a little, but never accomplished anything in college football years into his past.
