On NPR, they said no public money would be used to pay the buy out. How the fuck is that possible? They may make a couple of payments using donor money but they are eventually going to need to use institutional funds or do funky accounting that makes it look like it not institional money. They are lying liars.

TAMU, theoretically is an institution of high learning. As we all know they pump out an enormous amount of falsehoods presented as facts. The media isn't aware of their penchant for presenting lies as facts. 

Media outlets will often accept and repeat statements by a university because it's not normal for universities to fucking lie about mundane facts the way TAMU does.

Nobody expects a University to live and breathe off of cultish mythology the way aggy does.

Where is this “aggy has the most money” shit coming from? Just saw finebaum say aggy could buy bama, auburn and Florida and that Texas is second on most money? 

I watched that segment. He was talking in general about the state of Texas and both universities. His reference to aggy is as you described but it was tied to being a member of the SEC. He went on to say that Texas will have the most money next year when they join the SEC.

I'm surprised Leipold isn't getting more run.  Dude has done something in CFB that is very, very hard to do - win at Kansas.

From the article- "Despite the fact roughly half of coaches wind up getting fired eventually, nobody ever thinks their coach will be one of them, so nobody stops to consider whether committing so much money to one person is a financially prudent move"

Gee, half end in failure but everyone is too in love to worry about that.  There's a thread about this somewhere...

that doesn't mean that they will not comingle the money. Remember when their University lent money to their Athletic department? Did they ever pay that back? 

Can’t they just bump the Athletics Fee up $50/semester on their tuition fee bill?

70K (students) x $50 x 2 (semesters - Fall & Spring) =
$7 million

They do this every year for the next 7 years and they don’t even notice Jumbo’s buyout after the initial lump payment due within 60 days.

Saw that some WVU fans want Jimbo to "go home" to coach for them. They could pay him $100 a year to troll aggy.

I expect Gus Mahlzahn would be high on aggy's list. As far as I can tell he's the best coach to ever coach in the history of coaching. 

they should pay him $12 a year and call him the $12th man 

I'm old enough to remember when aggy hired Sherrill from pitt in the early 80s.  It was for something like 250k per year which basically doubled everyone else and was a huge deal in the media at the time.

Now they've done the same thing with buyouts and very likely the next coach, who is not gonna take under 10mm if he's smart enough to spot the sucker.

Same! I was over by the temporary seats. I had a grand time.

My sister taught at Blinn and is a big Aggy supporter. She was kind enough to get a ticket to take me to the game. I am willing to forgive her aggyness due to this kindness. We sat behind the 3-4 rows of folding chairs aggy had put out in the corner of the EZ. I want to say we were at the end opposite of where we blocked the punt. I think.

 

I managed to snag 2 tickets (took my girlfriend, now wife. No pics) to the BigXii CG to watch us destroy Colorado.

except that SC is a significantly better, easier and guaranteed job. he has a great QB room there vs whatever shitshow he walks into at A&M, he has the inside scoop to the school/program via Henson and who would rather live in College Station than the greater LA area? you think his wife is going to be fine w/ that considering they just got out of the shithole that is Norman?

"can't recruit at SC" - you think it's harder to recruit to Southern Cal than it is to OU? lol

Except that he's not recruiting well at SC.  Supposedly, there has been some friction between him and the boosters.  He wants more money for NIL and facilities.  Monet not a problem for the Ags.  However, CS vs the house in the Palisades.....?

Bill Byrne is a massive tool. Period.

His weekly letters were fucking gold mines, though.

Would love all of this talk about money to backfire on them.

 

Ross - Hey Dan, its Ross. We'd love for you to come take 8&4, excuse me, A&M to a new level. We believe you are the best available and a way better coach than we have ever had.

Dan - I appreciate that and all but I already have Oregon at that level. Not to mention all the Nike money behind me.

Ross - Pissshhh, Nike? We at A&M have thrice the means and are willing to win at no cost.

Dan - No cost you say? Well, I'm certainly listening. However, I don't want to risk our conversation leaking to jeopardize the season we are having. So I just need you to cut to the chase and give me a number.

Ross - You are our #1 target so we are prepared to offer 7 years of $70M.

Dan - Oh ok, that sounds good.

Ross - Good? That's a 30% raise, you should be thrilled! Remember, we have more money than anyone!

Dan - When you say it that way I guess I should be thrilled. But... well... let me think about it.

Ross - But what, what is there to think about? This a chance to come back to the mighty SEC. Remember it just means more. Plus you get a nice big raise to boot.

Dan - Yes, yes that is true. Then I can't help but recall you just paid $76M for Jimbob to NOT coach at your school again.

Ross - Jimbo? Well, I can't get into specific numbers but approximately.

Dan - Yeah Jimbo I mean. Yet you are offering me $70?

Ross - Yes, but you see

Dan - See what? You just told me you had more money than anyone.

Ross - I did but...

Dan - No, no buts. You do or you don't.

Ross - Yes we do but it doesn't really work like that. We have to Enron our books for a few years. Just a small bump in the road, hence the 7 year offer.

Dan - Maybe we can talk again after the season.

Ross - After the season? I'm sorry but we can't wait that long, we have to move soon. What would it take?

Dan - Well, I know you like the whole world to perceive you have more money than anyone. I know you like to be the talk of the media...

Ross - Yes, yes..

Dan - So let's show the world and send the media into a frenzy.

Ross - Yes, yes, yes!!!!

Dan - 10/150, fully guaranteed because I am way better than that bitch Dumbo. Sorry, I mean Jimbo. Oh and let's not forget, no offset. It's a win-win. You get the coach, the perception and all the media time. In turn, you make it worth my while to deal with male cheerleaders, the cringe worthy turditions and that shit hole you call a town.

Ross - Um... I'll be in touch. (click)

To that point, that’s why I couldn’t see them going after Klieman. They wouldn’t want to hire someone who’s 0-5 against Texas.

On the other hand, it is the only place in America that might overlook that brisket. 

Schumann went to McKinney Boyd in the 2000’s. Surely there is a Surly poster who has a kid that knows him. I think Schumann’s in the mix.

Traylor isn't a big name, but he's a solid talent evaluator and coach. Someone is going to strike gold when they hire him to coach a P5 school.

I would be concerned if aggy figured this out.

He could actually do decent enough job and cost a lot less than all the other candidates they're throwing around.

 

And it would totally fit the in the SEC mold of retread coaches getting their 9th or 10th shot.

He has to be salty about losing the Biggest Buyout Ever Trophy to Jimbo.

Where the fuck is this information coming from?  

So, as I think about this, aggy is going to do the players a solid... 

This is going to be the primary exhibit in expanding NIL to broadcast rights and paying players. 

If a&m can afford to pay Jimbo $75m, the AD should be able to pay $5m/yr to the 83.

Not splashy enough for aggy. They play big boy football, havent you heard? The BDF is like New Mexico state replicated into 14 teams.

They gave a big check at the halftime of Jimbo's last game.

So while Jimbo was in the locker at halftime his buyout was getting transferred.

They are going to have to pay out the ass for any name coach.  Someone like Traylor would sign a normal one.

That is the problem with agreeing to a ridiculous, out of the norm, contract for a coach.  If the next coach doesn’t demand the same treatment, he is a fuckin idiot who lacks a killer instinct necessary for success.   Meanwhile, most of the coaches who will actively seek out such a contract are washed up or mercenaries looking for a payday.  Its like “making it rain” in the strip club…you aint gonna find a good girl.

Also, has Jimbo made any statement/comments since being fired?

Why the fuck would he say anything?  For what's coming to him,  I would have been on the phone yesterday with my realtor and tell that bitch to get me a place at Stone Canyon for the winters and Gozzer Ranch for the summer and I would never talk to anyone again.

Collie Station is like the Vegas of the south without the strip, and without the fancy restaurants and swanky hotels and without the entertainment. However, they do both have lots of circle jerks.
