Is this any different than how Texas schools have used oil to build their universities?

Yes exactly.
what happened 150 years ago on campus was heroic. But it is by no means a reason to not do something that would be beneficial to the university and state.
THe endowment for Texas and Tex ATM are both in the $10 billion dollar range. All becuase of oil....
If we can get top dollar for it(look at what is happenning with the Shale Oil boom in south texas) then lets do it.
