That’s the million dollar question. Because they got the money through 3rd party collectives/boosters. And I doubt any of them actually try and these kids for the money they provided, that would destroy any future recruiting for them.
I think they eat the losses, and knowing their program, they keep spending in hopes that it’ll get them competitive.

That's absolutely what's going to happen. They'll just keep flinging money around until they eventually maybe get a good team out of it. Aggy isn't smart enough to figure out that this method probably isn't going to work more often than not.

When you’re used to being bad for your entire existence, have a little brother complex and have alum dumb enough to think they belong with the elite and will spend to feel like it.
They reportedly spent $30mil for the best class in recruiting history, and could lose a good number of the class before their Sophomores. If this isn’t a clear example of it not being a smart strategy to buy recruits before they’ve earned it, then IDK what is

The comical unearned media love they've gotten since joining the SEC definitely has not helped, that's really pushed their narrative that they "belong"

The great myth of their grand success under Manziel sure is a good one.The year they beat Bama with Manziel, 2012, they still finished 3rd in the SEC West
They followed that up in 2013 with a 4 loss season. Finishing 4th in the SEC west.
I guess that is pretty successful by A&M historical standards though.

And, YUP!
And the arrogance of the fan base thought that when they left the Big 12, and big brother UT(and big cousin Oklahoma), that they’d dominate the SEC

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Fisher says he is already concerned over the prospect of players entering the transfer portal this offseason.
"I think you have to [convince players to not enter the transfer portal] every offseason," Fisher said. "I don't care if you win 11 games or you win zero games. That's the nature of the beast right now. That's the inclination of anything. You've seen transfers that have had great success and had great teams. That's going to be the new normal for everything, unfortunately."
Texas A&M’s chances for bowl eligibility were dealt a blow on Saturday when the team indefinitely suspended freshmen Denver Harris (cornerback), Chris Marshall (wide receiver) and PJ Williams (offensive lineman). Their suspension stemmed from what The Athletic’s Sam Khan reported as a locker-room incident following the South Carolina game.
All three players were top-55 prospects nationally from Texas A&M’s No. 1 ranked 2022 recruiting class.

I mean they don’t have anything to lose. They are not a great program. And the SEC is only going to get tougher. So I think their idea is guaranteed mediocrity for another decade or a potshot at a great season before Texas and OU come to town and get established.
I also bet for their boosters, access to the program was contingent on big NIL money. And we all know wanting program access is as much an ego thing as it is a rational thing if not more.

I want none of their cast-offs.
I wholeheartedly trust our staff and evaluation at the current point in time so go after the one's you really want but don't offer NIL money up front. Coach em up and continue to build the chemistry and the brotherhood. Players like the A&M crew can only divide a house like they are doing in College Station

Half will probably be at Bama as another project for Saban. And then others will go to lesser schools so they can be the big fish in a small pond
aTm boosters are dealing with oil money, so when they're up, they have money to burn. And in their minds, why not burn it on getting players for the team. This all reminds me of the article on the bagman, written years ago. Except with NIL, we're dealing with even bigger sums of money, and no longer do they have to go behind the local Dollar General or HEB

You kids stay off my lawn!
What if all this is part of a master plot? As soon as Texas enters the SEC, aTm and Okie bolt back to the Big12, whose "owners" have agreed to pay 50% of the SEC fees for leaving, and promptly lock Texas out. Big 12 restored without the need for Cincinnati and West By God. Mizzou, remembering those days when they could count on clobbering Iowa State, Kansas, and K-state, is outside the candy store looking in with cash in its hands. Colorado wondering about staying with all the travel costs minus USC and UCLA, secretly writing an apology that includes a "Texas forced us" statement. All the Big 12 school ADs minus the dude from Austin doing a happy dance and singing, Ding, dong, the witch is dead! Texas AD and two cowboy/oilmen waltz into SEC HQs in Birmingham and tell Sanky that the 2023 SECCG will be played at Jerry's place, the CCG Trophy will be named the Darryl Royal Trophy, Tennessee's colors will be white and green, Paul Finebaum is out, Matthew McConaughey is in, and the SEC TV deal will be called The Longhorn Network.[/FONT=Fantasy}
