someone needs to put down the crack pipe..

I concor with the OP. Aggie sports are doing great. Too many myopic complainers on this board. Men's/Women's basketball! Baseball! Softball! Men's/Women's Track! Golf! Equestrian! Women's Soccer! Tennis! Just go to Aggie Athletic site and see how those teams finished. Even as dissapointing as the football team was, we still went bowling and adding the Arkansas game was a big time $ deal.

Quit trying so hard to be idiots.

Cheeks,
Actually I am a business owner in Houston. In the fast pace world of college football realignment there are back room deals made just like in my business. Deals are made long before formal contracts are drawn up. There is some faith and trust involved.

Loftin says the deal will be renegotiated as early as Spring of 2011. That means revenue increases a full year earlier than any of the other scenarios.

This was a back room deal but for legal reasons they cannot come out and say it that bluntly.

I have faith in Loftin/Byrne, and grudgingly I have faith in Powers/Dodds, and Boren/Castiglione.

The details in the contract may change slightly but the general framework will remain.

It benefits Fox to renegotiate the deal sooner rather than later because they risk another hungry network swooping in and offering more and then they loose out. Plus if they wait two years the Big 12-2 will likely demand more money at that time. Fox would like to sew this up sooner rather than later.

I can't believe nobody has said...




FOR ME TO POOP ON!!!!!!

interesting since $bill had little or no input in the decisions. actually about as much as in the hiring of fran.

The top brass has screwed the pooch on this deal...No more discussion needed...Just a bunch of talk. Let's keep to basics here.

bill$ is not the problem.

He did good on everything except football

but i do not know how much decision power he has here regarding football

Bill loves Texas A&M and is doing a good job.
