The article mentioned three "top-tier" universities in Texas: University of Texas, Texas A&M and Rice.
Last time I checked, Rice was a private university. I think the previous poster was mentioning that while the article's writer *did* consider Rice top-tier, SMU was not considered in the same league.

I wasn't even sure what the article meant by top tier, but it is clear that they're discussing what can be done for public schools, not private. If you're thinking private there are certainly many contenders - SMU, Baylor, TCU, etc.
