TAMU is actually pretty difficult to get into and they give in-state kids preference. That's the reason for their numbers. Texas really needs about two more big-name school campuses that are in high demand. They should be more like California that way.

Yep. Instead, the rest of those Texas kids spread out across the Southeast and West to go to big public schools.

They have been pushing the UH/Tech/UNT/UTSA/Tx State grouping to step up by dangling more funding if I remember right

A&M is reacting to this demand by growing. Crazy arse plans to grow the Engineering school to 25,000. I don't love it, but as long as you keep your standards, add faculty to keep decent ratios, and continue to improve the infrastructure on campus then I think it'll work out and not just be a degree factory.
