I've been banging my head against this brick wall for 25 years, and nothing has changed.
I finally concluded that nothing will ever change.
A family member worked for another B12 athletic program in the late 90's and 2000's. He said every other associated he worked with at other schools all wondered HTF A&M did so little with so much. Sleeping giant being held down by some weird invisible strings and no one knew what it was.
He knew I cared about A&M and watched every game when/if it was on TV or listed on the radio/internet. Frequently would talk about it and sports in general.
3 seasons ago after another pathetic lose to a bad team, he asked about the football team and I was all "A&M losed, whatever". He was a bit taken aback that I obviously didn't care any more.
I watch the games, smile when we win, rolls my eyes when we lose and go about my life. I don't even care any more. We'll never win a MNC in my lifetime b/c the forces working behind the scenes that fund athletics at the top level may be good at making money, but it's pretty obvious they absolutely suck at spending it. I think it was the Jimbo extension that made me realize there are complete idiots running the football program behind the scenes.
