They are? Can you prove this xwing? Why would a store have to pay royalties to Austin, the “mascot”’s name is sawyer, not bevo so I’m not sure how that follows.

Even if they somehow are, I doubt the own of aggieland outfitter cares, dude is loaded with money. Capitalism baby.

Seems like this is bothering you more since you ran to the rant with it.

UT sued AO years ago. They ended up settling for a 1-time payment of 25k and tweaked the logo slightly. AO is not paying royalties to tu.

Pretty sure Aggieland Outfitters is not paying a dime to tu. Also pretty sure xwing/rancho does not understand accounting and how a free market society works. You have to be pretty ignorant to think tu is getting royalties off of that.

Did you realize that bevo is owned by an Aggie? It is owned by Betty and John Baker. John is an Aggie class of 2000 and has supplied the last three castrated bull mascots to the donghorns. Apparently there are no donghorn fans that raise cows or know what to do with them. When Bevo XIV got sick, they had to haul it to A&M Vet school to find out what was wrong with it. The donghorns original mascot was a dog named "pig". A&M had a dog so the sips had to get a dog.

It does seem fit that they worship a castrated bull. Most of them have no balls anyway.
