Pocket change for those who support TA&M.   If SMU can raise $100 million in a week to support their program as it transitions to the ACC, you can only imagine how much Aggie supporters can raise to pay off Fisher and his assistants, etc. (estimated to be close to $100 million aggregate). 

The next step is “who is next at A&M” and how will that impact the college football head coaching food chain.

You mean, everybody doesn’t?  :).

Servers A&M right.  What an absurd contract.

was it more or less absurd than Mel Tucker's ten year deal at Michigan State???

What an absurd school tradition, worshipping at the altar of college football.  (I know it's not unique to them.)
