OK, there was that $16-million budget deficit. I believe that may have been taken care of.
Now the fired coach is owed $8.8 million, while the new coach is going to want at least $3 million a year, possibly closer to $4 million if the Aggies get into a bidding war for Kevin Sumlin.
Does anyone know if Coach Fran has been paid off yet? He got himself a very nice parting gift.
Speaking of parting gift, there’s that whole Big 12 exit fee. I’ve heard numbers ranging from $5 million to $12 million.
I’m not sure what the final number will be, but I doubt Daddy DeLoss is going to be in a mood to extend credit to people, who, well, haven’t exactly kept their financial house in order.

As a ‘86 Baylor grad, I’ve been waiting patiently a long while for this to happen and will savor every minute.
Sic ‘em.
It makes the taunt “Poor Aggies” all that much sweeter and quite literal.
They can have Will Muschamp.
They’re going to have a hard time raising funds once their SEC compatriots start hanging another couple of losses each year on them. The Aggies may look back on their 6 and 6 record in 2012 as ‘the good old days’.
Hey, how come at the University of Texas, they throw up two fingers and yell, “We’re number one”?
Pinging you to a subject near and dear to your heart : )

Life is tough; life is tougher when you are stupid.
dum, du, dum, dum... dumb
gotta wonder how much Rick had to do with any of this.
Maybe they can get the NFL to bail them out. After all, that’s where the next batch of NFL thugs and criminals are hanging out earning their basketweaving degrees.
I enjoyed TU’s loss to Baylor, didn’t you? Poor Longhorns.
AMEN! Roll Tide!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
‘Cause they know the Aggies won’t remember how many “one” is, so they’re just helping out.
“I enjoyed TU’s loss to Baylor, didn’t you? Poor Longhorns.”
Actually I did as a may lead to the termination of Mack Brown.
You see, here in Austin winning a National Championship, winning multiple BCS bowl games and being the strongest and wealthiest NCAA program in the country is not quite good enough for the Longhorns.
And being that every Longhorn fan on the planet knows how it feels to win a National Championship, while no one on earth knows what it is like for Baylor or A&M to win a National Championship, we at Texas desire that victorious feeling once again.
At Texas, we win and we do not flee a conference to avoid playing an in-state opponent and our basketball players do not murder each other.
And at Texas, we can pay all of our bills.
Poor Aggies.
And they and Mo are needed in the SEC why? Thought it was all about money. WTF do they and Mo bring to the table?
Why is it even “allowed” to build in these “golden parachutes” for coaches? I thought these were “educational institutions”. I thought it was only big companies in financial distress that paid people huge bonuses to get fire for failure...
A&M is the most conservative public college in the country, and more conserative than most private colleges.
The college is not perfect but my fellow Aggies are some of the nicest people I have ever met in my life!
Aggies will prevail!!
Gig ‘Em Aggies!!
