SWT was a member of the Texas State University system before it switched. I think there would be a firestorm if the rest of the universities in that system followed TxState's lead.

I find it weird that, with all the directional back-and-forth, University of Houston and University of North Texas seem to be thriving. UH was bumped up to Tier 1 status recently (joining UT, A+M, and Rice), and UNT is trying to move itself up as well.
