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 who had little success at Texas A&M before Jackie Sherrill took over the program. Sherrill won three consecutive conference titles and two Cotton Bowl Classic postseason games. His defensive coordinator, R. C. Slocum, replaced him as head coach in 1989. Slocum finished in the top 25 during 10 of his 14 years at Texas A&M[http://www.aggieathletics.com/index2.php?SID=MFB&pageID=188 Aggie Football Through the Years] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080424132121/http://www.aggieathletics.com/index2.php?SID=MFB&pageID=188 |date=April 24, 2008 }}. Texas A&M Athletics. and won 4 conference titles, including the school's only Big 12 title in 1998. Slocum also owns the Aggies' last undefeated season, in 1994, though they were ineligible for the conference title or postseason play due to NCAA sanctions.

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 Classic, a game the Aggies lost to Tennessee. The 2005 team regressed to 5–6 and defensive coordinator Carl Torbush was fired and replaced by Gary Darnell. 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, the first over the Longhorns in 6 years.

In the 2007 season, the Aggies finished in a three-way tie for third place with Texas Tech and Oklahoma State in the Big 12 South, leading only Baylor, which finished last. Although the team pulled out a 38–30 victory over the Longhorns on the day after Thanksgiving, Franchione was forced to resign due to fallout from a secret email newsletter that violated NCAA and conference rules. Former Green Bay Packers coach Mike Sherman was announced as his replacement three days later. Unfortunately, Sherman's first year at A&M resulted in one of the worst records in years, finishing at 4–8.http://www.aggieathletics.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/tam-m-footbl-2008-stats.html {{dead link|date=June 2017}} The 2009 season showed some improvement with a 5–2 home record and a 6–7 overall record.{{cite web |url=http://www.aggieathletics.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/tam-m-footbl-2009-stats.html |title=TEXAS A&M; OFFICIAL ATHLETIC SITE – Football |access-date=June 11, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101011153834/http://www.aggieathletics.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/tam-m-footbl-2009-stats.html |archive-date=October 11, 2010 }} More coaching changes were made after the 2009 season and the hiring of Tim DeRuyter lead the media coverage.

The Aggie baseball team plays home games at Olsen Field, which went through major renovations and is now Olsen Field at Blue Bell Park. The team is coached by Michael Earley, who has led the program since his hiring prior to the 2025 season. Since conference play began in 1915, the Aggies have won 15 Southwest Conference titles, three Big 12 regular-season and two tournament titles, and have made eight College World Series appearances. 1989 was the high-water mark when the Aggies were ranking No. 1 for numerous weeks before ending the season ranked No. 2.

Texas A&M basketball had been dormant for much of its recent history until the mid-2000s. The Aggies have won 11 conference championships, two conference tournament titles, and have 10 NCAA tournament appearances. Under former head coach Billy Gillispie, the Aggies finished fourth in conference in 2006 only two years removed from having zero wins in conference play. Gillispie then led the Aggies to their first NCAA tournament berth since 1987, playing as a 12 seed, and to A&M's first NCAA tournament win since 1980 over fifth seed Syracuse. 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. Billy Gillispie left for the University of Kentucky soon after the season. Mark Turgeon was named head coach a few days later, and has amassed a 73–31 record in his first three years in College Station, along with three more NCAA tournament appearances and a 3–3 NCAA tournament record.

The women's basketball team had two NCAA tournament appearances, an NWIT title, and a Southwest Conference tournament title before entering the Big 12. The program experienced little success in the new conference until former head coach Gary Blair took over the program. Blair's teams advanced to the NCAA tournament multiple times. He led the 2011 team to the NCAA national championship. He retired in 2022.

Ground broke on the Cox-McFerrin Center in November 2006, a {{convert|68000|sqft|m2|adj=on}} expansion to Reed Arena which includes new locker rooms, meeting rooms, practice gyms, training rooms, player lounges, and reception areas.

For seven years, from 2000 to 2006, the program participated in the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association National Championship, winning the Western division national title three times. The Aggies ended their participation in IHSA in 2006, and the program now competes only in the Varsity Equestrian National Championship, in which A&M won the overall national championship in 2002 and Western division titles in 2005, 2007, 2009, and 2010. Additionally, in 2010, Texas A&M won two individual national titles, with Caroline Gunn winning the national title for the second time in a row in Horsemanship, and Maggie Gratny winning the national title in reining.

Texas A&M won the inaugural Big 12 Classic in 2007, a competition between Big 12 programs with equestrian teams, which includes Baylor, Kansas State, and Oklahoma State.

The Aggie volleyball team is coached by Jamie Morrison, who has been at Texas A&M since 2023. The Texas A&M volleyball team participated in 13 consecutive NCAA postseasons, from Corbelli's first year in 1993 to 2005, reaching the Elite Eight twice and Sweet Sixteen three times. After several lean years, the Aggies returned to the NCAA tournament, advancing to the Sweet 16 in 2010 and the second round in 2011.

Women's archery was a varsity sport at Texas A&M from 1999 to 2004. It was added in 1999 when the NCAA designated archery as an emerging varsity sport for women. Archery was cut from varsity status in 2004, however, due in part to the lack of growth of varsity NCAA programs at other universities. Archery now continues at Texas A&M as a club sport.

The NACDA Director's Cup is an award given annually by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics to the colleges and universities with the most success in collegiate athletics. Points for the NACDA Director's Cup are based on order of finish in various NCAA sponsored championships or in the case of Division I Football media base polls. The award originated in 1993, and was presented to NCAA Division I schools only. In 1995, it was extended to Division II, Division III, and NAIA schools as well, each division receiving its own award.

Texas A&M's yearly final standings among other Division I schools since the cup originated in 1993 are as follows:{{cite web|url=https://nacda.com/sports/2018/7/17/directorscup-nacda-directorscup-previous-scoring-html.aspx|title=Directors' Cup Previous Scoring|publisher=NACDA Directors Cup|access-date=November 18, 2018}}

Texas A&M has three active, long-time rivalries; the Texas Longhorns, the LSU Tigers and the Arkansas Razorbacks.

Texas A&M's traditional rival is the Texas Longhorns. The university has had other significant rivals, but few have come close to the rivalry shared between Texas A&M University and the University of Texas. The mutual respect and desire to win gave rise to the Lone Star Showdown, an athletic competition that lasted year-round and encompassed all regular-season NCAA athletic events between the two schools. Though the showdown officially began in 2004, the two teams had been competing with one another for more than a century. The rivalry went on hiatus in 2012 when the Aggies moved to the Southeastern Conference, but was renewed after Texas joined the conference in 2024.

After playing LSU sporadically throughout the 20th Century, the LSU–Texas A&M Rivalry is the Aggies' seventh oldest, with the series dating back to 1899. For many fans, LSU became the Aggies’ primary rival after Texas A&M joined the Southeastern Conference in 2012, mainly due to the extensive series history and geographic proximity between the two schools. The rivalry has intensified since 2018, after the Aggies defeated the Tigers in football by a score of 74-72 in 7OT.

Texas A&M and Arkansas share a rich history, dating back to when both were members of the Southwest Conference. The two schools first began playing each other in football in 1903. When Arkansas left the SWC in 1991 for the SEC, this rivalry was put on eighteen-year hiatus until the rivalry was reborn with the formation of the Southwest Classic in 2009.

Other historical rivalries that are partially or no longer active include those from the Aggies’ prior membership of the now-defunct Southwest Conference (Baylor, Texas Tech, Rice, Houston, SMU, and TCU). Texas A&M also competed against Texas, Baylor and Texas Tech while a member of the Big 12 Conference.

• Midnight Yell Practice – Held the night before a home game, the student body gathers at Kyle Field to excite the crowd.
