TV: TBD BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION IS THE HOME OF TEXAS A&M ... On August 20, 2020 the Texas A&M Board of Regents voted and approved the use of “Bryan-College Station” as the home of Texas A&M University. “Bryan-College Station” should be used to reference all sporting events, academic events, press releases, marketing collateral, letterhead, and other representations of Texas A&M University and The Texas A&M University System where a specific postal address is not required. Aggieland has grown beyond the boundaries of any one municipality. College Station is known as the “Home of Texas A&M University”, but the City of College Station and the City of Bryan have had an entwined history since the City of College Station was incorporated in 1938. Bryan and Texas A&M University’s historical ties go back to 1871, when Bryan was incorporated and the Texas Legislature established the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas. The former Bryan Air Force Base was operated as the Texas A&M University Research and Extension Center for a quarter of a century before being designated as the Texas A&M University Riverside Campus in 1988, and the Texas A&M University Riverside Campus grew into the Texas A&M University Research Annex before transforming into the RELLIS Campus in 2016. The RELLIS Campus is home to Texas A&M University System entities including ten regional universities, the Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service (TEEX), the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (TEES) and the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI). In 2007, the City of Bryan gifted more than 200 acres to the Texas A&M University Health Science Center. Recognizing that over the past decade, Texas A&M University and the Texas A&M University System have expanded into the City of Bryan with seven Texas A&M University System colleges, ten Texas A&M University System universities and multiple Texas A&M University System state agencies on more than 2,200 acres with more than $1 billion in investment, the Board of Regents voted to recognize the long history and partnership between the City of Bryan, the City of College Station and both Texas A&M University and The Texas A&M University System. 2 AGGIE FOOTBALL | HOME OF THE 12TH MAN 2020 TEXAS A&M GAME NOTES Southern Miss, 1987) and Kwame Etwi (116 vs.
