re: Truth about A&M

Jimbo Fisher doesn't. According to him Aggie is broke.

He said there isn’t a dedicated fund. He didn’t say sponsors don’t make NIL deals. It’s quite comical really. NIL deals or the potential for them are legitimate recruiting draws for schools everywhere now.

But because A&M is winning on the recruiting front, it’s not fair for them. Fair for Bama. Fair for Texas. Not okay for A&M.

Granted, we likely will need to add some structure as this develops as it’s a new thing.

But to act as if NIL is something nefarious is laughable.

First the negative. We have never done ANYTHING a all that relevant in college football. Ever.

Agreed, you’ve done nothing.
No SECw championship
No SEC championship
No CFP appearance
No National Championships (1939)

Yet, your coach is saying this monumental class had nothing to do with NIL and all about “12th man and academics”

They have enormous amounts of cash and can buy anything they want.

Yeah, you just bought 7 5stars and highest rated class ever…based off $$$

Nothing wrong with NIL, but there’s a “no pay-for-play” rule…

Jimbo lost his shite Bc AM went all SMU in the very first year of NIL

Let’s look at AM and see if NIL had nothing to do with it.

AM in the past 8 years has only been in Top 5 recruiting once. But in first year of NIL, #1 and highest rated ever

AM in the past 8 years signed 8 5stars combined. In first year of NIL, signed 7 5stars.

Everything wrong/concerning over NIL pay for play was proven accurate by AM. Y’all went full retard/SMU and it’s beyond obvious. All eyes are on you.

Jimbo said it’s insulting to suggest NIL, but does he even sniff this class without it?

Either fans are lying or Jimbo is.

As far as potential…no one calls AM out if they were in Top 5 recruiting year after year and close to being number 1. No one calls Jimbo out if they were finishing Top 5 in rankings, CFP appearance, winning the West…they’ve done none of that. You can’t justify that class off hard work, 12th man lol

I don’t think he is saying A&M isn’t a huge NIL draw. It is. He’s saying the school has nothing to do with those deals. That’s what I thought he said.

aggy aint winning sh*t with Jimbo's sh*tty offense and sh*tty QBs he rolls out like Mond and Calzada. Oh and look! he's rolling out another sh*tty one in Max Johnson. Can't wait til Cristobal and Miami leave aggy field with the upset and all you delusional aggies realizing how sh*tty of a coach Jimbo really is.

don’t know how it will change, but it will. Just like you couldn’t predict a “transfer portal” not many years ago, but here we are. Maybe the NCAA’s definition of student/employee and how that relates to eligibility. Maybe a voted on resolution to how compensation is handled by member institutions. But the sentiment of the vast majority in this arena will come into play. How? Who knows. The NCAA is already crumbling (how they handled the Bruce pearl situation and how they are STILL handling the Will Wade situation are one example) and I agree a new league will form at some point. I think the SEC’s plan with growth is to pull away and become that league at some point.

---

Finally. Some sense being spoken. Kudos to you sir. I agree. 100 percent.

But to your point.
1. A&M currently has likely broken no rules here as they don’t exist yet and 2.
2. Actually changing these rules will require years of legal maneuvering, debate, discussion and implementation. And even then, the Texas schools will probably still have a built in advantage that is just unavoidable until we have …
3. A new league formed where players are under contract. But this is a decade away.

But I agree it’s going to happen. But I don’t agree that it will happen overnight. In the interim A&M will have an enormous advantage. Not bragging. Just saying the way it is.

The truth about A&M is that ppl are now more interested in auburn and their coach’s sidepiece.

Uhhh... aggy aint FSU which was a true elite program back in the day.

---

You clearly never been to A&M. Have you seen their facilities? Have you seen their crowds? Been to a night game there? Lately?

I don’t disagree that historically you are right. But A&M isn’t what it was a decade ago.

They aren’t elite yet. But they are legit. If you think otherwise your just wishful thinking.

quote:

---

Facilties and crowds don't make aggy elite. Winning championships makes a program elite. Oh and BTW, aggy IS the same as 10 yrs ago - 8&4feit and ducking f*cking Wake Forest to boot. Wake up dude. aggy aint all that. just OK but not even all that.

The question is how does winning start. You’ve missed the point.

Mississippi St wasn't impressed with aggy facilities or big crowd. YOU missed your own point.

No denying the current advantage in getting players to campus. This class is proof.

I am no NIL expert, but it is my understanding that part of the interim policy is that an NIL deal can not be an incentive to enroll at a particular institution. Do I think everyone broke this rule, absolutely, but a rule broken non the less. I don’t think there is any argument that deal specifics with numbers, terms, and stipulations were discussed with individual players. Jimbo acting like he is clueless to it is what gets everybody.

He HAS to act clueless because it is… Against the rules.

I very curious how these 18 year olds manage this new money ask Henry Ruggs. And how a college coach manages a professionally paid roster. You’ll
Probably get a lot of crab leg and “grab her in the…..” incidents
