Yes it appears to be official now. A&M owes us 1.25 million. Just hope Wren wrote up an enforcable contract.

Don’t you know that SMU will do anything they can to get out of the a**whooping coming their way on Sept. 19th.

Disappointing the team doesn't get to play at Kyle Field this year (or at all? will they?) but as long as we have a season with fans. Please, God. Please.

ULM has lost 3.2 Million dollars from not playing their 2 SEC teams. They already don't have a lot of money, so this could be the end of the road for them in the FBS

I'd sure like to see the language in the "bail out" clauses.

No way A&M or any other P5 will pay $$$ for these lost games, just because of these crazy circumstances. What they probably will do is add us to their OOC schedules in years to come to make up for this year.

Someone tell me why our trip to College Station is any worse than LSU coming to College Station. Besides the ass whuppin! I say we apply for an exemption.

Let's play ball, dammit!

We’re not getting paid for these.

I demand that we see the contract!

Bring A&M to Apogee in 2025 and all is forgiven. Let the Ags keep the gate in College Station and we keep the gate in Denton. What could be more fair ?

Time to give TCU a ring! Both schools have the same open weekend. Makes sense to stay in the Local Bubble.

I'd support this 100%

If A&M doesn't pay up in full: sue em!

greenjoe · July 31, 2020

What about that Texas Tech date ? Same date ?

Yeah. That's what I was wondering. I'm assuming the state can't/won't sue itself.

UNT Law vs Texas A&M Law

I hate to miss the opportunity for our guys to get the exposure and seeing a heavy duty program, plus the money.. And the "what if" factor.. we might scare the he... out of them.

Then guarantees and buyout clauses are nothing more than a gentleman's handshake between two in-state schools?

Doesn't make 100% sense to me, but I'm just the idiot that wants to watch the game with a beer.

There is no payout coming. But my guess is we agree to a new game in 2026 or so, or as soon as our schedules can match up. My guess is Big12 will announce the same policy as SEC just did shortly, so I really think we will be looking at a CUSA schedule. Though I would love to see a one year agreement to merge area schools from AAC,CUSA, and Sun Belt. To help reduce travel.

Tulsa - AAC

SMU - AAC

Houston - AAC

UTSA - CUSA

Rice- CUSA

LA Tech - CUSA

Tulane - Sun Belt

Texas State - Sun Belt

Louisiana - Sun Belt

Arkansas State - Sun Belt

Go after the independents too. New Mexico State, BYU, Liberty, mountain west: Boise. Wyoming, Utah State could be in play. The rest of the MWC will California it and shut it down Most likely, even UNM.
