University of
Texas: A large state flagship university located in Austin,
Texas. Enrollment = ~50,000. Metro population 2011 = ~ 1.6 million.
1. A once great school that has become a corporation. An institution that has left its roots and mission to pursue the almighty dollar to the detriment of the people of
Texas.
2. A school rightly loved by its alums and adored by millions of Tshirt fans than can't read past the sixth grade. Note: Things about UT that are thoughtful that will usually by an alum. The junk by a tshirter.
3. A school that high performing
TEXAS kids from upper middle income suburban homes can rarely
hope to get into. The dorks in this socio economic group are going to
Texas A&M, the partyers are going to
Texas State and the independent "I'll do my own thing' types are going to Tech.
4. Most alums of UT that graduated in the 70's, 80's and early 90's from upper middle class suburban
Texas would not be allowed in today. UT would have to give
grant and funds to the very demographic its left wing leadership despise.
5. Has the UT leadership even thought of what is going to happen when many future alums are from Bangalore, India or Beijing China. Are they going to attend UT games, donate
money to the school , go to a UT game today. UT's 100,000 fans make less noise than aTm's 80,000 and less than Tech' 60,000. You know why. UT fans are old and stale.
Plano: What do you mean I cant get a
grant for going to the University of
Texas. WTF I got accepted to Rice but UT is not offering a dime. So, I live in Plano and my mom and
dad make 100,000 a year. Tech is offering a full ride and aTm is giving me two years but UT nothing.
Beijing, China. "Mother I have been accepted to the University of Texas". Yes, son it will be very expensive but we will have help paying for it. Will you bring me back a cowboy hat.
