Spot on (ouch):
Texas A&M: The money pit that is Aggie football continues to offer up a return on investment similar to all those NFTs you bought during the pandemic. At the time, you thought it was a great idea to spend thousands of dollars on a digital image of an ape wearing a funny hat. Next thing you know, it doesn't matter that you forgot the password to your crypto wallet because it isn’t even worth the cell phone data you’d use trying to find it. Wake us up when Jimbo Fisher and the 10-year, $95 million contract extension he signed in 2022 actually do something that forces the rest of college football to take Texas A&M and its boosters seriously rather than mock them for continuing to invest incredible resources in a program that seems to be going nowhere. That includes all the NIL money that was spent on recruits and hiring Bobby Petrino to be offensive coordinator only to lose to Miami, 48-33. If there’s a bright side for A&M, it appears Conner Weigman is going to be a pretty good quarterback. There are some good individual pieces around him, too. But when the whole is still this much less than the sum of its parts − especially in Year 6 of the Fisher era − it becomes difficult to see how this becomes a championship program under the current regime.
