Actually no, that is part of what a conference is supposed to do. The Big 12 doesn’t because Texas runs it and Texas doesn’t need any more media exposure (and they don’t give a shite about what other programs need). But most conferences work to raise the profile of its member institutions.

it is the overexposure of the SEC that has allowed you to even remotely sniff a top 10 recruiting class in spite of continued mediocrity.
You nailed it, that is exactly what is going on. Big 12 A&M had a recruiting floor in the 40s, meanwhile SEC A&M basically could never drop below 25 without something crazy happening. Just a new patch on the uniform changed the outlook of our program overnight.
Which is exactly why Texas wants to play us, the only way to negate our free SEC recruiting bonus is to beat us every year. Add that to what we add to their home schedule and playing us gives them a ton of benefits.
Us not so much.

I get a Bama-LSU vibe when y’all start going off. I think I understand but I am not absolutely sure

My first kid should be born in February so when the Saints win the Super Bowl it will be the best month of my life period.

May want to study up on your history. TAMU offered to continue the series when we came over. Texas refused. Now they’re interested because, well look at their conference home slate.

It seems a bit early for offseason threads.

your team is so bad, no-one even talks shite with you. You have to jump on someone else's bandwagon.
Have you no self worth?

I'd prefer it that way. It's tiring arguing with Morons on the Internet. It's also a losing proposition

Not really. All they have to do is wait you out and continue recruiting like they have been. You're in an impossible situation relying on blowing smoke up gullible kid's asses. Whorn knows that. So do we.

Wait us out? It's only going to get worse.
As more and more kids are born into a media era where the SEC can do no wrong and the Big 12 is a frickup even when doing good we continue to get a boost. Each year more and more Texas children are indoctrinated into the powerful SEC brand and we are the only way they can play in such an amazing league and still have all their family easily come to their games. There is literally a sucker born every day.
I mean think about this: an A&M that hasn't won a title since 1939 just beat OU in recruiting, a team that has been to back to back playoff games. That simply shouldn't happen, and it did because the Big 12 brand is an albatross dragging down both Texas and OU. Hell we have beaten OU in recruiting more years than not in the SEC era after never doing it in the last decade of the original Big 12. Why? Because the SEC brand is that powerful.
The only thing Texas and OU are waiting out is the Big 12 GOR to take Netflix's blood money in a desperate attempt to try and undo this situation in another 6-7 years.

It will follow the exact same path as Sumlin.
1. Bring in new coach to create excitement around the program.
2. Sell SEC conference patch because can't sell program.
3. Sell National Titles to come (that never come)
4. Go 8-4 every season
5. Watch recruiting tank on a downward curve similar to seasonal October Furkpoint graph.
6. Fire coach and start entire process over after 5 years.
ETA: Aggot has not had to recruit against a reconstituted whorn since aggot left for the SEC. Whorn is reconstituting.

Fisher is rebuilding A&M into an SEC team. Recruiting and fortifying the defense, and putting an emphasis on the running game. Hell, we haven't even had a TE for years that actually did anything
Fisher will at the very least make A&M more competitive, increase recruiting, and teach our kids some actual football. Something that Sumlin's staff never really did
Takes time. Nobody expected us to win nine games this year, so you never know

Aggies are playing up - not down - to OOC competition. That’s why they’re coming to test their mettle at the real Death Valley next season

LOL what? A&M will sign it's best class in the history of it's program with a first year coach and a 9-4 record. This will only get better for A&M. Good luck waiting it out.

Let me give you a quick case study.
2009 season: A&M was the least televised team in college football.
6 of their 13 games were only accessible by RADIO.
2010 season: 4 of A&M's 13 games were only accessible by radio.
2011 season: 2 of A&M's 13 games were only accessible by radio.
2012-2018: Every A&M game accessible either on national TV or online.
