In the process, aggy are squandering the oil money trust (the Permanent University Fund, google it), of which they get 1/3 while the UT System gets 2/3 (and Austin gets the lion's share of that) over a juvenile dick-measuring contest with "tu."
WTF are you talking about? The PUF is doing just fine. A&M has received 2.8 billion in gifts over the last few years. You clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

texashorn also acts like that’s somehow his money. It’s very odd the way he posts about it.

You're trying to educate (facility build, books, PUF stuff) 50 percent more students with about half the PUF funding as UT Austin.
Look up PUF excellence funds and you will find that UT Austin gets WAY more oil money than aggy.
As it should be, because The University of Texas owns the West Texas land from which that oil is pumped. And we control the investment of that money, as in gold investments, for example.

He’s talking about donation gifts, not sure why you’re still discussing the PUF as if we don’t know what it is or you have anything to do with it

UT 39%
UGA 52%
A&M 66%
A&M’s may be high due to UT practically capping enrollment & the state population is enormous & only 2 state institutions are AAU.
Don’t have the stats in front of me, but the 66% rate isn’t as alarming as it appears. A&M is certainly going a different direction in the future with growth rates & the budget to student ratios are vastly different.. time will tell in regards to effect.

Y'all aggy are idiots (redundant?) if you think the totality of that $2.8 billion figure you pulled out of your arse, goes straight into aggy coffers in the here and now.

Did he say that it did?

Wouldn’t you want to move if your now ex wife banged half of the alums in Tallahassee? I really don’t know if true just laughing at the rumors I hear from the Miami faithful.

Where do you think it goes? It is completely separate from the PUF. It's a fundraising campaign.
As for the PUF it is controlled by a group formed by both schools. I believe the current manager is an Aggie, but its not a big deal. A&M and tu are both stacking bills higher than anyone else in Texas.

Say what you will but nice when you have a natural resource with a big chunk of money every year.
Wish more states had this ability.
Posted on 8/16/18 at 12:59 pm to Farmer1906
Obviously Austin>CS
But both schools provide better post-grad options nationwide than some shite party school in the SEC or some flatland dump in the Big 12

Do you REALLY think that if ESPN offered a 20-year, $300 million contract for third-tier rights -- for your own school-branded ESPN channel -- that aggy or Nebraska (or Colorado or Missouri, for that matter) would've turned it down "for the good of the conference"? You're fricking nuts if you do.
I'm not saying any other individual school would have turned that down but no other conference would have allowed it to happen. That 'deal' brought the conference to almost ruins... it started the series of events that lead to aTm leaving for SEC. Its also the reason Texas doesn't have the state on recruiting lock down any longer...it opened the door for LSU and aTm to cherry pick. I see that extra income as the main reason why Texas isn't the national power it was.
Would the Longhorn's fan-base trade those earnings for couple more National Championships?

Here is the distinction bewtween Horns and Aggies. The Horn fan base will trade in all monetary value for another national championship. The Aggies will trade their soul.

Nebraska didn't want a conference network and both them and aggy were actively seeking broadcast partners for their third-tier rights.
Yet both squealed loudest when the $300 million ESPN-U of Texas deal came about.

Whoa... you have no clue how the PUF is managed and facilitated.
A&M’s involvement is closer to bringing donuts to the annual board meeeting and collecting a check for doing nothing, than it is anything else.
You are more a charter member vs pawn for TV sets in Texas in the SEC, than anything less than a parasite when it comes to the PUF.
It’s utterly amazing how distorted you fux are when it comes to self awareness and revisionist history.

Texas spent years chasing the conference media/TV deal while their B12 partners sat on their hands & stonewalled.
The “mean old Texas” mantra is big in the joe fan base world, but that’s about as far as it flies outside of Lincoln and CStation.
Texas had no idea the monetary significance the ESPN was going to bring & they didn’t find out until after the B12 squandered any opportunities & finally when A&M declined a partner deal.
Mack Brown & the entitled AD are the reasons for the dark run in Austin. Complacency is a bitch.

2. Do you plan on being a executive and college student at the same time? Do you plan on actually going into one of those buildings.
Many do as interns. I interned downtown at the SXSW office during the school year doing trademark policing and enforcement and got two free platinum badges to SXSW to make up for shitty intern pay
It was an awesome experience at SXSW though. This post was edited on 8/16/18 at 1:45 pm
