Benny,
You are simply mixing quality of degree/reputation with network. As stated there are areas where Texas clearly is stronger than A&M in terms of degrees and there are areas where A&M is stronger. There are many fields that an A&M degree is as strong as any available and you don't need to have an Aggie help you get a job, people see the A&M degree and it puts you at the top of the list. Same for Texas in some areas.
I would also say the Aggie Network isn't a place where incompetents get jobs, it is more of a door opener. It will get you an interview and maybe the benefit of the doubt but if you don't perform it doesn't matter.

I think I just define network differently, I don't think there is any difference between a general studies degree from A&M or UT. Once you get to majors then it starts splitting as you've pointed out.

Which I've stated. I really think y'all are missing my point on broad reaching. Not from having "University of Texas" on your resume but having someone filter along your resume in more (point UT from my experiences) locations and firms then after that it depends (more help for Aggies from my experiences), but as Third said it's all arbitrary.
I mean we can all agree to disagree. The only winner here is the OP.
