Link: 2013 Endowment Numbers

I really wanted to say that Texas > SEC but the numbers didn't quite work... yet...

 

[Biff Johnson]

Wait, let me beat Agate fan (the only one), to the punch:

Hahahaha, Texas doesn't make as much as the OUR confrence!!!

S E Least, S E Least...and so on.

Whew, glad that's done; time for my fingers to have a breath mint.

Technically, the figures aren't correct. In 1931 when the Legislature set PUF funding for the ags into law, the monies from the AUF were what was divided, not the monies in the PUF.

http://www.hornsports.com/docs/HB_368_CH_42.pdf

Under Texas state law, tamu is still legally a branch of the University of Texas, so they do not have a separate endowment that is a portion of the PUF. That is why the PUF is called the Permanent University Fund and not the Permanent Universities Fund. The PUF is under control of the UT Board of Regents. The Regents established the The University of Texas Investment Management Co. as a private company whose shares are owned by UT. The ags are allowed representations on the UTIMCO board and they get 1/3 of the AUF monies, but they have no direct ownership of any of the PUF.

The story on the relationship between UT and aggy is on the site:

It's a bit of a stretch to tie endowments to football. I think you'd be hard pressed to find schools that are using endowment funds or investment revenue from the endowment to heavily subsidize a football program. Otherwise Harvard would win championships. And going the other direction, football revenues don't go into the endowment, they typically fund operations.

Maybe a few players go pro, sign big contracts and contribute to the endowment, but you're far better off having a Michael Dell or Red McCombs on your donor list than a pro athlete. The SEC suffers from producing a lot of pro athletes, but not too many titans of industry. Texas does better, but let's be honest, we mostly benefit from the Texas tea!

However, football revenue certainly opens the doors to spending on the football program. And by that measure Texas is rolling in it!

Don't care how much money we have, we are losing on the field and in recruits eyes.

Randolph Duke my friend all the aggie spies on this site are not going to like you for saying "Under Texas state law, tamu is still legally a branch of the University of Texas," that much less posting it for everyone to read. They try so hard to best us even having the guts to play in the so called super conference. We have to be careful some people can't stand the truth it really hurts. My friends y'all have a great week.

The Wall Street Journal is running a piece this weekend based on my debunking the aggy 12th Man story. We are hoping the site gets mentioned in the article. If that happens, I'm wondering is the boss will put the story back on the main page for a few days. Right now, when my stuff rolls off the main page, it goes to a page of its own located here. http://www.hornsports.com/author/rduke/

Once the interest in the SuperBowl and the Seattle 12th Man dies down, the next thing is to find an alum who is in the Legislature and get them to help get a a constitutional amendment introduced to finally end texas a&m's legal status as a branch of the University of Texas. The story with all the linked documentation establishing they are still a branch of UT is on my page as the aggy joke story. If anyone has an idea which legislator we might want to talk to, let me know.
