Texas A&M Aggies news: Aggies retain two top-10 programs with winning ways, football sees some scheduling shakeup?

Here's the biggest Texas A&M Aggies news for February 17, 2025.

Texas A&M basketball continues to soar skyward

The Aggie basketball team proved their top-10 ranking with a decisive win over Arkansas this weekend. The Ags dunked all over a hapless Hog squad, and though the final deficit was single digits, it took a late rally from the Razorbacks to make it even that close.

A&M appears poised to ascend at least one spot in the AP Poll if all goes as expected later this afternoon. If they do, they'll have a chance to make a run at the top 5 by the time the season ends— and a one seed.

Texas A&M baseball wins the weekend and avoids PR snafu

Texas A&M baseball picked up with a dominant weekend series win over the Elon Phoenix to get the season started. This Aggie team looks to be just as strong as we all hoped so far, and Jace LaViolette in particular seems to be in peak form.

Meanwhile, the Aggies avoided a PR hiccup when they amended a strange media policy that had been previously published— one which apparently would make players unavailable to the media after a loss. Fans and journalists alike were pleased when this policy was amended yesterday.

Finally, as you might expect, another attempt at salvaging image for Jim Schlossnagle went sideways before the season. For some reason, he decided to make a strange claim about unnamed Aggie players, and the A&M faithful let him hear it.

Texas A&M football could see major schedule changes soon

The latest development in an interminable series of them with regard to College Football Playoff expansion could mean that the Aggies' conference schedule looks far different in 2026 and going forward. The latest from Yahoo Sports's Ross Dellenger outlines how an expanded playoff could mean a nine-game conference schedule for SEC teams in 2026 and beyond.
