A&M athletic director Ross Bjork said nearly $100 million has been raised to upgrade the school’s football and track facilities.COLLEGE STATION — The shoddiest facade of the Texas A&M horizon is about to change looks for good — and for the better.
The two cheap-looking buildings that appear to need an air pump have been in place for about the past 15 years and have served their purposes, but they will be casualties of A&M’s aim to raise $120 million through its fundraising arm, the 12th Man Foundation. “We’re really in a position of strength as things continue to cycle,” Bjork said of the Southeastern Conference’s alignment as UCLA and Southern Cal prepare to exit the Pac-12 for the Big Ten in 2024. “From a personal perspective, I hope that the waters remain calm , because where all of this is headed, I don’t know if it’s good for college athletics in general.”
“… There are a lot of things that need to be sorted out, but we’ve got to all stay together for the health of college sports.”
