Quote:I have strong doubts there was a gold rush on getting the trademark for "The House that Johnny Built" Seeing how Johnny hasn't proven or built a damn thing, 

 

<div style="font-size:12px;">After MAnziel's first year as starter, Texas A&M's athletic department raked in $120 million in revenue, sixth-highest of any school in the country.
A&M has never been that high in its entire history.

Quote:<div>The university recently retained the services of a renowned sports and sponsorship evaluation company to measure the media exposure generated by the football team’s historic finish and quarterback Johnny Manziel winning the 2012 Heisman Trophy. Research conducted by Joyce Julius & Associates (www.joycejulius.com) shows that the redshirt freshman winning the prestigious trophy produced more than 1.8 million media impressions, which translates into $37 million in media exposure for Texas A&M.

Manziel will see none of that money, never will.
The Aggies football staff, however, did. Head football coach Kevin Sumlin got a $1.1 million per season raise thanks to Manziel's strong rookie season. The rest of the coaching staff was handed an extra $700,000 to share between them.

Quote:<div>Texas A&M University raised a record-breaking $740 million in donations and pledges over the last fiscal year, potentially the most ever raised by a public university, the Bryan Eagle reports.
For comparison, A&M's fundraising haul is over $300 million more than its previous record year, and close to $600 million more than the university raised in 2012.
Officials boast it is the highest amount ever raised by a Texas university.

Quote:<div>Texas A&M Foundation President Ed Davis said the giving was one of the greatest hauls he had seen in his 20 years with the Texas A&M Foundation.
"I think it's noteworthy," Davis said. "Normally, we don't spend a lot of time beating our chest with things like this, but this year has been rather spectacular."
He, too, credited much of the overall fundraising success to Texas A&M football and Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel.

Quote:<div>As for the house he built?...That comes next year as part of the unprecedented $450 million upgrade to A&M's football stadium.
As part of Kyle Field’s renovation, the Aggies will have the largest SEC football stadium when construction is complete in 2015. And, now, they’ll also have the largest scoreboard for any college team in the country.
More importantly, the giant scoreboard will surpass Texas’ by 291 square feet, which is currently the largest in the country.
