That'll happen when you're the backup school for one of the most populace states in the country.

That's a lot of useless degrees.

Only University Honored - Texas A&M
Texas A&M was the only university in the USA selected for this honor, alongside organizations such as Nvidia.
If you want to talk smack you will do much better if you stick to athletics. When academics are judged you have "no cards".

And National football championships don’t educate or provide a job for the average student. The Aggie former student network is the best in the world at that.
What do you think about the Ivy League network? I know Warren Buffet, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg can't hold a candle to the Buccees founders but they seem to have done well financially for themselves.

Different world than I grew up in. Kid has zero desire to go to a massive university and I have even less to pay for her to go to one. Wants to get her pre-reqs at Berry and transfer to Emory.

Yeah they have…while you mention a very few such as Bezos, et al…Texas and Texas A&M have produced more big money people than just a handful. There is one huge difference…they are all private schools with huge endowments using public taxpayer monies to fund their so called elitists. A&M and Texas are using public funds to educate the widest possible number of Texas kids. That is their purpose. Not as a “diploma mills.”Texas is rapidly overtaking Harvard as the largest endowment, Texas A&M has blown past the Ivy League except for Harvard, Princeton and Yale. Even though they had a hundred or more years head start. Really amazing when you realize Texas A&M was a small military school up until 1968 or so and and only had about 14,000 students in 1975. No alumni support their school and their graduates like the Aggies or Horns do. I was in business for over 4 decades…I would hire a kid with a 2.5 out of A&M or Texas that had a job all through high school and college over any Ivy League elitist any day. The Ivy League schools never networked or supported their grads like the Aggies or Texas and other schools do. That’s just a fact.

But touting a law school’s higher initial Bar passage rate, by itself, is not necessarily the flex that you think it is. There are a number of law schools, which in order to get more attention (by advertising a high in-state Bar passage rate,) spend a lot of time “teaching to the test” as an early Bar review course. We used to call such schools “black letter law schools.”
“Black letter law” can and does change. Law schools like Texas utilize a broad and varied curriculum designed to impart critical thinking skills, teaching students to “think like a lawyer” and flexibly defend their positions in a variety of future situations. That leaves law grads with more responsibility to prep for their Bar exams on their own.
Calling horseshite on moving the goalpost.
I had to pay for a child who graduated from a prestigous law school. If the school had told her she might need to clerk and study at night for a year after graduation to pass the Bar, she would have said FU and applied somewhere else.
