Directional names

I don't know that the NCAA "hates" them - I think athletic departments and some administrators believe that directional names indicate Podunk U.

I will try again to find the actual numbers, but in the case of my alma mater I believe the fact that the athletic department is NOT talking about all the money football is bringing in for US points to the fact that like the vast majority of programs, it is not self-sustaining or profitible. Yes, you can point to programs that make money hand over fist; you just can't say it is true of most of them.

I am not indulging in hyperbole when I say the Strutters are probably more profitible than the football team. You wouldn't believe what those alumnae give!

As to Texas' top 10 admission rule - yes, I'm aware it applies to all public schools, but as pointed out earlier, it is UT and A & M admissions which it has most affected.
