The Texas A m Aggies entered their 112th year of football competition in the 2006 season. During that time, the Aggies have earned one national title in 1939 and 18 conference titles. The football program experienced a period of little success lasting from 1944 to 1971, when the Aggies won only two conference titles. With Emory Bellard as head coach beginning in 1972, the Aggies returned to prominence with two 10 win seasons during his short tenure. He was replaced by Tom Wilson and the later by Jackie Sherrill took over the program. In his seven years at A m, Sherrill won three consecutive conference titles and two Cotton Bowl postseason games. His defensive coordinator, R. C. Slocum, replaced him as head coach in 1989.

In late 2002, Dennis Franchione left his position as head coach at the University of Alabama to take over Texas A m's football program from Slocum. He finished the 2003 season at 4-8. Franchione finished the 2004 regular season with a 7-4 mark and an invitation to the Cotton Bowl, a game the Aggies lost to Tennessee. The 2005 team regressed to 5-6. Due to the much-needed improvements on defense, the Aggies finished the 2006 regular season with a 9-3 record and a 5-3 mark in Big 12 play, including a 12-7 victory over the Texas Longhorns in Austin.
Texas A m basketball has been dormant for much of its recent history. The Aggies have won 11 conference championships, two conference tournament titles, and have seven NCAA tournament appearances.

The Aggies were one point short of advancing to the Sweet Sixteen over fourth seed LSU, with a final score of 57-58. In the 2007 season, A m spent most of the season ranked in the top 10 of the polls and became the first Big 12 south team to win against the University of Kansas in Lawrence since the Big 12 was formed. The Aggies finished with a 27-7 record and finished 2nd in the Big 12. They earned a number 3 seed in the NCAA tournament where they made it to the sweet 16, but fell to the University of Memphis 64-65. Acie Law IV was named an All-American.

He resigned in July 2006 to accept a position as Senior Associate Athletic Director at the University of New Mexico, his alma mater. On August 8, 2006, Texas A m Corpus Christi head coach Steve Denton was named the new A m men's tennis coach.
