They don't have equal footing with us on our recruiting grounds, facilities, support, exposure, or any other tangible factor.
And what has any of that ever done for us?
The national perception - fans, coaches, media - is that A&M and VT are about the same level of program. And perception is reality when it comes to that subject.
You're obviously one of the people I'm talking about - the overly Aggie Aggie who thinks we're on the same level as programs like OU, Michigan, OSU, USC, Texas, Alabama, when reality is we're just not seen that way outside of the Aggie Bubble. We're a middling program on the level of VT. We just happen to have a lot of money that we never, ever manage to turn into wins.

We're obviously not on the same level as any of those programs.
Uninformed fan perception doesn't matter when it comes to coaching hires. They are going to weigh their options pragmatically, and make the best decision for them.
If we hired "our" beamer, with this coaching hire then the sky's the limit. We haven't been able to do it yet, but that doesn't mean it won't happen.
All that said, if we're a middling program then VT is less so.
