Devon Achane and Texas A&M will open their season Sept. 3 against Sam Houston, a game coach Jimbo Fisher says is about “trickling” money down to smaller programs for the good of the game.COLLEGE STATION — Texas A&M athletic director Ross Bjork played football at Emporia State in Kansas in the early 1990s. A&M coach Jimbo Fisher played football at Salem College in West Virginia before moving on to Samford in the late 1980s.
A&M vs. Sam Houston at Kyle Field is a prime example of what Fisher considers a trickle-down impact in the sport, even if cynics believe a Power Five program like A&M should schedule four prominent nonconference opponents to go with an already rugged Southeastern Conference schedule. The Aggies will pay the Bearkats $500,000, according to A&M deputy athletic director Justin Moore, to drive the 50 miles west on Highway 30 from Huntsville to College Station, a solid injection into Sam Houston’s roughly $17 million annual athletics budget.
“ for the betterment of football, because those kids quit playing football in high school because there are opportunities in other sports, that hurts the game of football in the picture. That’s the way I look at it, and maybe it’s because I came from small college football.” “This is not a ‘money’ game for us. That is not how we look at it,” said Sam Houston coach K.C. Keeler, whose Bearkats are on the move again next year, this time to Conference USA. “This is an opportunity for us, and we know we’re going to have a great challenge out there.”
