It has been stated it's a Pro A&M message for a Lead By Example campaign. If you know anything about the campaign and their goal, why would you not want to be apart of this message and participate in it.

Aggies = Loyal & Supportive, therefore Aggies can easily be manipulated into supporting stuff that "makes Texas A&M look good"

Yeah, not participating. We're supposed to blindly support the 'message'?
He was pretty direct that this is going to be a pro-A&M message to get the word out about the new capital campaign. You've got to leave part of it a surprise to give people something to look forward to and try to inject some excitement. It's hype. If it's all drawn out, then it loses a lot of the appeal... You know what a book is about. Do you want to know exactly how the story is going to end? No?
This is just a fun little promotion. Of course, for all of you never-happy "angry ags" that are incapable of excitement, it's yet another thing that you can complain about. I feel sad that you are incapable of enjoying yourself...
what is Pro-A&M for one person does not make it, simply, Pro A&M. Unless you know the specifics on the campaign which have not been made public, how can you claim that they this campaign, and any awareness, are Pro A&M?

This guy is missing the point.

What is everyone's issue with this??

Im not necessarily talking about the fundraiser, this will be the largest card stunt in a stadium right? So it'll be on sportscenter and all over the interent, so recruits will see it and see how much people are talking texas a&m, they will be talking about the fundraiser a little, but itll be more abot the card stunt and how a&m did it

Trust us, everything is OK.
Here's the thing Mark, my kid goes to elementary school. It's not a wealthy school. They have had 3 fundraisers this year. They send kids home with info about crappy wrapping paper, or stale cookies, or dumb calendars with puppies on every page.
Here's the thing; the folks they sell that crap to know what they're getting up front. They don't throw money at my kid just for the hell of. You're attempting raise $4 billion but can't tell us exactly what real world issues you're gonna fix with the $. Top that with this secret stunt deal that is so top secret, it's not on txam foundation dot com, & you should expect a little hesitation.
Good luck.

Yes

If it says something akin to "Lean In" I'm done with this school.
Ok. So let's lead by example by wasting a bunch of money and other resources on cardboard. Got it. Fine example.

There you go. I know it was hard to actually Google the campaign and see what their mission statement was. If you can't get behind that, then I'm not sure how to help you.

And come on, The Foundation isn't going to do something to embarrass or alienate donors as they kick off a capital campaign.
I expect this to come and go without incident. It will probably even be underwhelming for you with all of the controversy you've attached to it. It's a non-issue. Just like the last "crisis" that TexAgs cried about.
Why is A&M wasting money on this crap?
They said that the message would make A&M proud. So apparently it has something to do with A&M and the Military since it is Veterans Day.

That's still pretty vague. What will the $4 Billion be spent on? Advertising campaigns? Political donations? Are we starting a para-military group to fight the war on drugs?

Last crisis? Like the Seal on the Diploma? That was "Pro A&M" to "Unify" the brand. All it did was drive a wedge in our system. And the result?
I agree with you that the Foundation is more trust worthy than anything our BOR puts forth - even then, I do not blindly follow. After following with the events in Columbia, I do not particularly trust the relationships between pres/chancelor, government, teachers, & BOR. There is bound to be politics and promises made.
Call me cynical - but give me a detailed document where the money is going before you claim it is Pro A&M.
p.s. not pickin on your premium-ness
If it's supporting the troops then I certainly hope we are getting paid for it.

I bet $4billion could get Bill Billichek and Nick Saban here. Seems like a better use of the money.
Where do I donate to renovate Spence park and replace the remaining Soviet architecture on campus?
