re: The Texas schools and oil money

Yes and no.

Yes, they have more money than Jesus. But most are locked into pledging that money to foundations/academia than they are athletics. They want results first. Example: look at when UT went after Saban 12 years or so ago. Bama damn sure doesn’t have the overall war chest that UT does; they just care more about athletics.

Aggy is no different.

And we aren’t talking about your podnuh that can squeeze off $1M/year for athletics. We are talking true FU money, of which UT and Aggy have plenty of those boosters. The real money folks in this state just that aren’t into athletics.
