Texas Tech muckety mucks and our politicians are 'fighting' for Texas Tech to get to Tier 1 status. This amuses me a great deal, as some of you know.
Texas Tech is never going to get tier 1, at least not from any outstanding effort done by the State of Texas.
We went through this charade back a couple of years ago. California has 9 Tier 1 schools. Texas has 2 (A&M and UT), both of which are funded by the Permanent University Fund. Blah Blah Blah.
The charade works like this.
Step 1: talk up in media possible Tier 1 status for schools like UH, UT-Dallas, North Texas, etc. etc.
Step 2: Never let them have the adequate funding.
Result: Muckety Mucks from different schools get some good local publicity for fighting the good fight.
The reason we go through the charade is too keep the two obese systems from having to possibly be questioned in the manner in which it dispenses it's funding. The PUF has never been up for discussion, but their is 9 billion in it last time I checked, and that was after some setbacks.
Why am I the only one that gets it?

Perhaps Tech should go for T III status and admit its a party school that has some really good "game day" tail gating. Something to thing about....
Were already Tier III or Tear 3.
