Aren't you really saying that a Texas degree is more valued (at least in your industry) than an Aggie degree? Just as, say a Northwestern journalism degree is more valued than a Mizzou journalism degree. Both great schools, but differences exist once you dig down into the weeds.
Because what you're describing isn't really the power of a network. The strength of a network should be judged by how often members "go to bat" for one another. Or how far membership can take you professionally. If, as you concede, members of the Aggie network are the best at getting each other jobs, doesn't that end the discussion regarding network strength? Beyond that, I think you're just speaking to the value of a degree independent of network.

In fact, doesn't Texas have the best undergraduate accounting program in the country? And I know their finance program is indisputably better than TAMU's.
Maybe that's why you see horn grads get their feet in the door at a higher rate in your arena.

Not at all, I even like Aggies more than Horns. Spent a lot of time at A&M when I was at Arkansas.

If it was universally agreed on that those qualities are the strength of a network then yes. But I don't view that as the primary quality for the strength of a network, as do many others I work with. Many others I work with will agree with you if you believe that defines the strength of a network. We'll just have to agree to disagree.

I don't hire sips. When it comes down to getting shite done, ags do it better and without the premodonna pussy shite that comes with being a tsip. I hire outside of aTm though.
Sips are those guys driving tahoes on 20's that never get dirty that should be driving Prius's.
