25 years after a tragic 1999 bonfire incident at Texas A&M University that killed 12 students, the university's president, Mark Welsh, has formed a committee to explore ways to commemorate the school's renewed football rivalry with UT-Austin. The committee is seeking input from the families of the 1999 bonfire victims before considering a possible rekindling of the tradition. The bonfire was a long-standing tradition at the university for 90 years before it ended in 1999.
