I was going to ask how the soccer camp $$ are counted in these numbers. I wonder if TAMU treats soccer camp revenue and expenses and payment to coaches differently than other universities, and ends up including those revenues and expenses as part of the soccer program itself, as King Koda suggests. This also raises questions about how Coach G's departure, whenever it occurs, impacts the soccer camps. And this might have played a role in various decisions. Basically, who has 'ownership' or legal rights to those camps? Is it clear? These camps have been quite successful and have gone on for years. I presume TAMU has a large claim, but perhaps it is not completely one sided.

I'm sure G can set up a competing camp. I wonder how his contract is written with respect to that long-running camp. I suspect the camp makes a net positive dollar contribution to Aggie soccer, it employs many staff (coaches and trainers) some of whom have a relationship with G, etc. I just wonder how the timing and incentives work w.r.t. G's compensation and duties for the year including the summer soccer camp. I wonder how this might matter to an AD deciding on the best timing for pulling out of a contract when and if the time comes. Obviously G is not going to set up an "Aggie Soccer Camp" at Blinn, but that does not exhaust his options.

It was my understanding that the camp was started to pay for the assistant coaches.

Does G's contract run through end of 2025-26 school year or through end of 2026 season?
In my quick googling, all I could find is the 4 year contract extension he signed summer 2022 that just says it "runs through 2026". With how awful we are in conference play (would not be surprised if we finished winless), I was curious if anyone knew how much longer this misery would continue. I imagine they will let him save face and "retire" when his contract ends.

It would be best for all parties if he just announced a retirement and we let him finish out the season while actively searching for a new coach…
Tu fans and one of their big soccer donors are pining for Eric Bell from TCU… if we wait till April (wouldn't surprise me) we'll be screwing ourselves over. We'll see if Trev cares about a non football sport

If Eric Bell is open to moving to a bigger school then Texas A&M absolutely needs to be the school he's moving to. No question!!! Trev needs to make that happen

Texas is going to fire their coach based on bad results so far this season? She just won the SEC tournament last year in their first year in the SEC, after winning the Big12 championship the year before (34 wins during that 2 year span). Her 2025 recruiting class was one of the highest ranked classes in the country. I would be surprised to see them let her go this offseason unless her contract is up. Is her contract expiring?
