Former New York Times editor and DEI proponent Kathleen McElroy was appointed to be the head of the journalism program at Texas A&M University, but later had her contract reduced from five years to one year, after her woke history came to light. She has chosen not to take the position at all in a win against DEI insanity.

In 2001, no one from the SEC or 5th ranked Texas worried about 6-6 TCU of Conference USA.
