- Texas A&M University: What's Your Status (2013); Fight Back (2014); Aggie LIFE (2015); Football Fever (2016) Note: The 2016 game features an Aggie football theme where players battle SEC opponents by correctly identifying phishing attempts. If players sack the cyberattacks, they can take the Aggies to the championship. Falling for too many online scams will result in a losing season. Texas A&M promoted the game via signage in computer labs, e-mail, and social media. This year they experimented with animated GIFs both in social media and in e-mail headers. They also created a video to promote the game. Scroll through the Texas A&M Facebook page to view the different ways the campaign is being promoted or watch the "hype video" on YouTube.
