With the earnings of their alumni it is an embarrassment. Pathetically low.

That's great and all. Oil money in Texas, but what does this have to do with athletics?
Current Value: $96 million
Two-Year Change in Value: 12%
Football Profit: $47 million
Conference: SEC
Head Coach: Les Miles
The local economic impact of LSU's home games has helped secure their place as the SEC's most valuable team. The Tigers generated $8.5 million in local spending for each of their seven home games.

Give us time.
We're no longer in a conference where 3 other in-state programs are vying for the same prize.
Being the sole Texas program in the SEC will pay dividends--I promise.

Can you use a little that money to hire some female cheerleaders? All the west is tired of your creepy soda jerk yell leaders

Feel free to request access to the Texas A&M board. Plenty of room for good people like you on tArk.

That would explain all the football championships they've won this century, I guess.

Harvard's figure is pretty impressive for a school with only 21,000 students.
The figure for the Texas A&M system, with 143,000 students and untold hundreds of thousands of alumni is what appears "pathetically low" to me. Especially when you consider the bulk of A&M's endowment was a gift from the state, and not built up by alumni or the school itself.

We have female cheerleaders. I promise. At every basketball game:
We just don't let them do the cheers at important events like football games. That is a man's job.

Actually it isn't untold. 417,889. 50% are class of '96 or younger. But I agree with the gist of your post. It's weird that a UF fan started this off, as it is an absolute Texan thing to brag about shite that he has nothing to do with.

Although Missouri is #4 on that list, we'd still start the year at 13 in the preseason endowment rankings.
We would climb the ladder through the season, but only as endowments were down that year.

Sweet Maybe the can win something now.

At least they can win something in the West.

Wow, they have a university that has benefited from an ocean of oil. Such an accomplishment.

Texas has a greater population than the combined states of the West. Who'da thunk?
Yet we are only one of two flagships. The rest of the schools in the SEC West represent the majority of the prestigious education in the rest of the state. Where as Texas A&M has to deal with tu, Tech, U of H, and wide variety of others. I think a more accurate representation of the dynamic at hand would be enrollment at A&M vs enrollment at the other 6 schools combined... not population.
