April 3, 20197 yr Virginia Tech head coach, Buzz Williams has been hired as the new head coach at Texas A&M.
April 3, 20197 yr Good hire. Hokie fans that I know, are pretty bummed out to lose him. They should be. That's a really tough job given the state of the ACC and whoever replaces him has his work cut out for him.
April 3, 20197 yr The SEC sure does have some good coaches. Seems like a great move for A&M. Always liked Buzz.
April 3, 20197 yr I don’t know if he knew what he was talking about but a buddy told me that Texas A&M was the wealthiest university in the nation. So, if true money shouldn’t be a problem for Buzz to build his program.

Texas A&M is #8. If you look at the whole list, the top 20 is basically all the schools considered the best academically, plus the two Texas oil rich schools. And that list makes me wonder why any student at those schools should pay to go there. Harvard's endowment is $38.3 billion. What is the purpose of the money? Shouldn't that be used to cover the cost of school for those who are able to get in? Topic for another thread.

Academic endowments are a separate subject since they have absolutely nothing to with athletics.

If you make less than $100K as a family and get accepted to schools like Harvard, Yale, Vandy you basically do go for free. Their endowments offset the cost for "lower" income familes/students. Of course the tough part is getting accepted, probably have to bribe someone. :lol2:

Also, Ph.D students often go for free and receive a stipend. Rest towards student need.
