Has Texas A&M copyrighted "the 12th Man"? If not, seems like A&M has no case.

"Copyrighted?" I dunno. I dont know the legalese, but in the article it does state TAMU has registered the term as a trademark.

...A&M has twice registered trademarks for "The 12th Man" label - in 1990 and 1996 - that include entertainment services, "namely organizing and conducting intercollegiate sporting events," and products, such as caps, T-shirts, novelty buttons and jewelry.
