Saw that today and it made me think of this thread.

And it has the phrase "top tier." LOL.

Isn't Rice in the Houston area? So the comment they made about Houston needing a "tier-one" university is invalid because they already have one.

If they are going to only pick one of the 'contenders' it should be in an area where one of the 3 isn't in (so not in Houston or the Austin/College Station area).

I kinda figured that they'd focus on Dallas. (Again i'm biased) but GOD FORBID they give a "top tier" status to somewhere outside of the DFW/Austin/Houston area.
