When your state school is the flagship, you don't need another school.

Our State school has started to get really bitchy as of late. It really sucks too - the students are alright, but the Alumni are some dumbasses.

Actually Texas has 4 schools designated as flagship status for the state.
Sorry your state is 1/4 the size of ours, we just have too many people.

Wut? When did we add two more and who are they? Are you talking about the "emerging research university" status that Tech and Houston have now?

It has nothing to do with trophies.
It's simply the way the state of Texas chose to structure its institutions of higher education.
All states are different, since education in the U.S. is decentralized, rather than centralized (each state makes its own calls).

quote:
Thirty-six (36) separate and distinct public universities exist in Texas, of which 32 belong to one of the six state university systems.[9][10] Discovery of minerals on Permanent University Fund land, particularly oil, has helped fund the rapid growth of the state's two largest university systems: The University of Texas System and the Texas A&M System. The four other university systems: the University of Houston System, the University of North Texas System, the Texas State System, and the Texas Tech System are not funded by the Permanent University Fund.
The Carnegie Foundation classifies three of Texas's universities as Tier One research institutions: The University of Texas at Austin, the Texas A&M University, and the University of Houston.[1][2][3] The University of Texas at Austin and Texas A&M University are flagship universities of the state of Texas. Both were established by the Texas Constitution and hold stakes in the Permanent University Fund. The state has been putting effort to expand the number of flagship universities by elevating some of its seven institutions designated as "emerging research universities." The two that are expected to emerge first are the University of Houston and Texas Tech University, likely in that order according to discussions on the House floor of the 82nd Texas Legislature.[11]
