Doesn't A&M have a larger endowment than Texas?

Texas has the larger endowment and is twice the size of A&M's but A&M is still the 2nd largest endowment of any public school (recently passed Michigan).

It's a bit more complicated than that though because the money is for the Systems and not the main campus. A&M has to split its money with some of its system schools (though most don't qualify). Texas OTOH has to split its money with a larger system. UT Dallas, UTSA, UTEP, UT Arlington, UT Tyler, the 6 UT Med Schools including MD Anderson. Thus the "usable" money between the schools is very similar at this point, especially because it is very restricted as to what it can be spent on (mainly new construction for instance) and it is only interest that can be spent.
