AGAIN!!!! They are a sleeping giant!!


SEC will help them fix the Athletic Revenue problem.

They don't need help on the Academic side at all.
Here is where A&M would be big provider to the SEC in academics and money.

For the sake of clarity, let’s look at the 2009 endowment rankings of the schools that play D1 football.
These rankings are system wide, so A&M’s Vet school is included with A&M – Texas’ Med school with Texas and so on.

There are 25 schools playing D1 football that have endowments exceeding $1 billion. They are, in order (all amounts are billions)

1. Stanford University $ 12.619
2. University of Texas System $ 12.163

3. University of Michigan $ 6.001

4. Northwestern University $ 5.445
5. Texas A&M University System $ 5.084

6. University of California $ 4.937
7. University of Notre Dame $ 4.795
8. Duke University $ 4.441
9. Rice University $ 3.613
10. Vanderbilt University $ 2.834
11. University of Southern California $ 2.671
12. University of Virginia $ 2.557
13. University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill $ 1.905
14. University of Pittsburgh $ 1.837
15. Ohio State University $ 1.652
16. University of Washington $ 1.649
17. Purdue University $ 1.458
18. University of Wisconsin $ 1.373
19. Boston College $ 1.341
20. Indiana University $ 1.227
21. Pennsylvania State University $ 1.226
22. University of Minnesota $ 1.077
23. Michigan State University $ 1.047
24. Southern Methodist University $ 1.035
25. University of Florida $ 1.011

We are currently ranked 18th by forbes list in terms of most valuable football programs, right behind arkansas. once we join the SEC, we would bump that number by 15 mil or so right away with the TV money.

Add that to the fact that fan support and donations would be at a 15 year high, games would be selling out the next day, and we are easily jumping up into the top 10. I did some of the math, and we would have a team value of 73 mil with the added TV revenue alone. which puts us within 5 mill or so of every team in the SEC but Fla. LSU. and Bama.

ALl just by JOINING the conference. when we finally adjust to the SEC style of play and field some good teams, that number will certianly increase.
