FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Researchers Warn U.S. National Security Officials of Secret Deal Giving Qatar Covert Control over Nuclear & Weapons Development Research at Texas A&M ISGAP research exposes Qatar's undisclosed billion-dollar funding to Texas A&M in return for full Qatari ownership of over 500 research projects. ISGAP calls for a federal investigation into foreign donations to U.S. universities and an immediate halt to associated research endeavours until full scrutiny by relevant security and regulatory bodies and resolution of non-compliance issues.

It’s well known that Aggies sold their soul to Qatar years ago.

And people here tried to argue that Qatar doesn't have the means or motive to exert control over our country's institutions of higher learning.

There is no reason for me to dislike A&M. However I have hated them my entire life and never knew why exactly.

This just confirms my instincts I suppose.

I don't mind folks making money, I do mind selling out your countryman to true enemies of the state.

Mind boggling Texas. You just never can tell.

You can add to this list if you want to do a little research into the money Qatar is throwing at other universities.

I agree that it's bullshite, but let's not all get too sanctimonious here and pretend this is some kind of thing exclusive to A&M.

A Muslim country is funding a program at A&M? They must be more LGBT friendly than countries like Saudi Arabia or Iran.

They aren't the only University that is being controlled by Middle Eastern money.

Just like my mom use to say, I'm not worried about everyone else I'm worried about you.

So, tell us why your university needs money from a terrorist-harboring, Muslim country?

Ok, Gus.
What other universities are “controlled” by Middle eastern money.
Should we expect a fact filled response?

Sounds like someone needs a little Fightin’ Texas Aggie “mansplaining”…

Now that we have a competent head coach, you corndogs should be concerned, and for good reason. Elko is a no-bullshite coach who isn’t afraid to pull offensive and defensive coordinators from NFL teams if they’re good enough. Once our NIL collective is stabilized and we can start paying the top players to come to College Station, we will be a force to be reckoned with. You corn dog fans will understand soon enough when you come to Kyle Field this October.
