Why does Texas A&M blatantly lie on Kyle Field about winning false national titles?

Texas A&M Aggies have used retroactive computer models to falsely claim they won two Big 12 and two National titles they really didn’t win.

Texas A&M has won one National Championship. The 1939 Aggies were voted No. 1 in the final AP Poll that year, edging out Tennessee, USC, and Cornell. But if you visit Kyle Field and see the wall where A&M displays its championships, you might be confused to see three national title years listed. The Aggies also claim some questionable Big 12 titles as well.

When A&M joined the SEC, in an attempt to seemingly beef up its football history, the Aggies added some championships to Kyle Field.

Let’s look at the false Big 12 claims first. Added to the wall were Big 12 championships in 1997 and 2010. But the Aggies didn’t win the Big 12 title those years. In 1997, A&M won the Big 12 South but was blasted by Nebraska in the Big 12 title game. In 2010, A&M finished in a three-way tie for the south title with Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. Of course, the Aggies finished third out of three.

After some outcry, the Aggies added a very small clarifying “South Division.” Would any other school plaster division titles on their championship wall? Much less one that was shared? The answer is no.

As for the fake National Championships. The Aggies posted on this same wall in 2012 titles for 1919 and 1927. Both years are long before national titles were even awarded.

“More egregiously, there are still no clarifications, asterisks or other qualifiers next to the claims of national championships in 1919 and 1927, when no such honor existed. The first widely recognized national championship was awarded by the Associated Press in 1936; nearly all national championship claims prior to that year are citing obscure computer models that retroactively awarded the title several decades after the fact. In this case, the 1919 Aggies were later acknowledged as “national champions” by two “retroactive” selectors, the Billingsley Report and the National Championship Foundation; the 1927 team was retroactively honored by the Sagarin Ratings. This is all completely bogus.” CBS Sports explains.

So A&M has used two computer models to retroactively award themselves national titles. Is there anything more “aggie” than this?
