The problem arises when they're only given 2 "good" options (UT + A+M). Even though there are several top schools in the state who would love to attract these students, many top-performing students end up leaving the state in order to get into "real" schools.

This is my perception as well -- some percentage of the high school population really wants to go to a flagship, period. They'd rather go to OU, LSU, or one of their peers than what they see as a non-flagship or second-choice Texas school.

Yes -- but they are named after important people rather than along the lines of Mississippi University for Women. That's what I like. Texas also has Stephen F. Austin and Sam Houston, which are "directional" schools in terms of the role they serve within the state but have their own brand names. George Mason Law School, for example, has in my view had an easier time branding itself than it would have if the university were still called the Northern Virginia University Center.
