I just don’t understand how/why aTm is bringing in that much flow?
As Law mentioned, A&M has the 'oil money'. They also have one of the top 10 endowments in the country (making our endowment look like a junior high school).
But, their revenue for this year (and last, I think) included a huge fund raising effort for upgrades. Taking that out they are probably behind Alabama (or very close).
As others have stated, this just proves there is no excuse for the shape of our program. I can't believe there are still people who think that facilities have little to do with our fall. Sure, the combination of Urban's heart attack/hiring Muschamp/hiring Butters had a lot to do with it....but the other part of the equation: Foley - also played a major factor. From making two terrible, lazy hires to publicly stating "...we're not getting into an arms race". The fall from grace was quick and ugly....and we still haven't gotten up off the bottom. But those pictures of our 2021 facilities sure look great!!
