Jimbo is a unique talent. He has somehow found a way to make Aggie infinitely MORE unlikable than they already were with all their weird, culty stuff.

You kids stay off my lawn!
A & M seems to get away with shit that other schools can't. I remember when they gave Jackie Sherrill an unprecedented amount of money to coach - something approaching double or triple what Woody and Bo were making at the same time.
" Jackie Sherrill was named coach and athletic director at Texas A & M and signed a six-year contract whose worth was put by knowledgeable sources at the College Station, Tex., campus at $1.7 million.
The contract apparently makes the 38-year-old Sherrill the highest-paid university employee in the nation. Though declining to comment on the total value of the pact, Sherrill confirmed in a farewell news conference at Pitt that it was for six years and said that his base salary would be $95,000 a year. But the addition of benefits - including a home, new cars, insurance policies, and money-fund investments - brings the entire package, the sources in Texas said, to an average of more than $280,000.
According to the best estimates of several officials with a broad knowledge of higher-education matters, no other person has ever received so much in pay from an American university.
''No president or chancellor or professors at any university that I know of, including our chancellor, are paid anywhere near that much,'' said Dr. Ed Bozik, assistant chancellor at Pitt.
So this latest Jimbo story indicates that things haven't changed in College station. Until the power five schools get together and agree on a set of NIL rules and form an enforcement organization this will go on and A&M's ethics will go unchallenged.

All of this talent and I can bet that aTm still won’t even win the SEC west! All of this hand wringing over the talent they brought in and how they did it. Yet Bama is still going to be favored to win the SEC. Even with all of the talent, the aTm coaching is still not close to Saban. And I doubt they keep all of their talent as well. Transfer portal has made keeping all of your players another obstacle,and these kids will have egos.

Correct, the cat is officially out of the bag and in the open regarding paying players now.
But Jimbo, I guess, is upset because everyone is saying how A & M is bringing in this type of recruiting class ONLY because they're paying players. And he's mad that he's not getting credit for "building" an appealing "elite" program that would organically attract those type of players, which he shouldn't get because that is complete bullshit.
It's clear that people only are going there because of the money.
