So if you kill someone on campus, you'll only have to face murder charges on campus and not in the state of Texas? I doubt that.
I also don't get that you said you didn't think it was hazing, but then admitted that it met the definitions of hazing.

I was misinformed. Someone told me that TX state law on hazing only applied to public institutions, and private institutions dealt with matters themselves. This is incorrect, the law applies to all educational institutions.
What happened met the University's definition of hazing, which is in my opinion too vague.
What happened was not hazing. Nothing was required for membership on the team other than paying dues and showing up to at least a few practices (though some guys didn't even do that but still played).
And Rice is a fine, unstanding, private university. We're not religiously affiliated, though.
