Texas A&M is Getting Roasted for Another Underwhelming Athletic Year

In terms of true spending power, there might not be a program in college athletics that holds more weight than Texas A&M.

The Aggies are heavily backed by oil-based money moguls that can drop seven-figure checks by the athletic director’s office without batting an eye, but it has yet to get them over the hump in the NIL era.

A&M fans have endured 122 seasons of baseball without a national title, and despite claiming three national titles—the most recent being in 1939—the Aggies football team has never won a nationally recognized championship in its 131-year history. Basketball has never made a Final Four, or an Elite Eight for that matter, and softball, well, it has won two national titles—but not since 1987.

This spring, it appeared that the program’s baseball and softball teams might have a chance to end their collective drought’s but after some late-night drama on Sunday, those hopes came crashing down in yet another disappointing result.

Coming into the 2025 season, Texas A&M’s softball program was the Preseason No. 1 team in the country and the trendy pick to win a national championship. Fast forward to the end of the regular season and the Aggies are 28-25 (11-19 SEC) and will likely be headed home when the NCAA Tournament starts.

After a 47-10 regular season, the Texas A&M softball team earned the No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament and were among a short list of favorites to dethrone Oklahoma. Then, in the blink of an eye, they became the first ever No. 1 seed to fail to advance out of their own regional.
