Why does the Univ of Texas manage aTm aggies endowment?

Maybe because maybe they are still technically part of the UT system?

So

The Univ of Texas management company overseas the aTm aggie endowment

aggies cant even manage their own endowment?

Since there's some disagreement about the reported endowment figures as a measure of the "health of a NFP," we might look at some other metrics (like research expenditures) to determine the health of a university whose mission includes research. Now, it's true that universities have multi-pronged missions, which include both research AND teaching (and service sometimes). The endowments give us one lens to look through. Research expenditures offer another lens: NSF R&D Expenditures

I went ahead (because I was procrastinating on some other stuff) and crunched some numbers like I did with enrollment and endowment. I have included two tables with enrollment and research expenditures. One table includes systems. But I don't think that table is as useful because it ignores that large swaths of students at some campuses are at universities whose major function is teaching, not research.

So, the second table is the one I would look at, which focuses on research expenditures and enrollments on MAIN campuses only. The second table put Texas A&M much higher because the other campuses (which serve large numbers of students) don't generate the same amount of research.





I also laid the the research expenditures that I used to calculate for the system totals since the NSF data didn't (from what I could tell) combine numbers for systems. This is useful in showing how much the research money for the Alabama system is weighted toward UAB and UAH.

From what I remember, medical research funding (via NIH) is a pretty big number. So, keep that in mind.



The ranked list of expenditures (not divided out by enrollment) is below.
1. Texas A&M $866,678,000
2. Florida $739,522,000
3. Vanderbilt $647,816,000

4. Georgia $374,264,000
5. Kentucky $331,705,000
6. LSU $281,154,000
7. Missouri $246,684,000
8. Mississippi State $226,359,000
9. South Carolina $208,736,000
10. Tennessee $173,533,000
11. Auburn $135,899,000
12. Arkansas $133,660,000
13. Ole Miss $94,040,000


14. Alabama $58,234,000 (The gap between football and research... )

If you see any mistakes, let me know.

Per school, Vandy is the largest, but we're still a blip compared to many of the Ivies. It's a private school no-political-pressure thing. The public schools have to contend with the state governments even when their donors are generous.

But go ahead and spin your false narriatives that tu "controls" A&M, and that A&M is subservient to tu, or that A&M is "part" of tu. It's ok if you believe those things. Some people believe in flying pigs as well.

The truth is that the PUF has been managed collectively

OUCH, 7 of the 9 board members that control the oil money investments are directly related to The University of Texas, by rule, including that Billy Badass UT Chancellor, aka William McRaven

Dude, you need the shite beat out of you because you are an a-hole.

Really, who the frick cares who manages the money? C'mon.

It will take a generation or two dying as well as the end of the mindset of "you're a bad aggie if you don't fall lockstep in line with the coaching staff" to change that.
