You sure about that? 30 year bonds are debt and you'll be well over a half a billion when you pay for it all.

The OU athletic department has plenty of bond debt. How do you think you pay for... anything? The same way every athletic department in the country does.

Our school and state have money.
This isn't LSU. We're not ashamed of spending this much on a coach because our university system and state can actually pay the light bill.

The question was, aren't you a half a billion dollars in debt with nothing to show for it? Yes or no?

Somebody has to pay off that half-billion dollars in debt for the stadium, the taxpayer won't bail you out like they did in 2009 with the $15 million loan to pay athletics dept. bills and salaries (after layoffs, of course).
That little nugget cost a Hispanic woman president her job, when she "inadvertently" let that cat out of the bag. All on par with racist aggy, who didn't let women and blacks attend their beloved school until the 1960s.
Lol at harping on a seven-year-old, sensationalized story about intra-university transactions while staring up at daddy on the only list that made you relevant in that last six years.

We bought a really nice stadium with our half a bill. What did they get?

Yes, yes it clearly is. The founders suites alone generated well north of $100 million. Those are individual capital contributions; they aren't bonded.
And lol at you even being here. How many former big 12 members do you chase around the internet while nipping at their heels?

Nobody "nips at ATM's heels" about anything, homey. You're the chihuahua of college football.

Yet here you are, desperately trying (and comically failing) to prove an Aggie wrong about the financial condition of the A&M Athletic Department.
You're right. You aren't nipping at our heels. You're begging for attention with soft whimpers from the laundry room.

Arksulli,
Sumlin has been trying to move A&M to a running focused spread vs. a passing spread. Spavital just screwed up last year. He was promoted because he ran that type of offense at Oklahoma State and West Virginia. Sumlin brought is a Co-OC in Dave Christensen who ran a run-based spread at Utah and MIZZOU.
Both coaches have been replaced and Sumlin has brought in another running guru in Noel Mazzone (UCLA). A&M now has a dual-threat QB in Trevor Knight. A&M only had 1 scholarship running back last year (Tra Carson) and he wasn't healthy. This year James White and Kendall Bussey (both 4* recruits) entered the Spring healthy (Jay Bradford is still injured). They also picked up Keith Ford (OU transfer and former 5* Under Armour All-American), Trayveon Williams, and Rakeem Boyd (both 4* recruits).

I've tried keeping up with your strange line of questioning, but you've moved the goalposts one too many times for me.
(and that chihuahua comment does nothing but reveal you as a silly instigator)
I've got zero problem with Oklahoma--here's hoping the Sooners find their way out of that unfortunate conference--but I'm lost with regard to your posts.

In football and basketball, and our women's and men's (back to back) gymnastics teams BOTH won the national title in the same year just last week. Women's softball team is #3 in the country right now. We're irrelevant. Finenboob and aggie said so.
