clt says a marshall fan mocking rice for academics is the height of incongruity.

UH has been yelling that they made Tier 1 for years but they’re still ranked something like 180th in undergrad education.

Let’s shoot for some additional AAU members if we’re going to aim for a status.

But you're still Rice, and no one cares about Rice, even your own students

Trolling Rice about Academics, that's a first. Marshall got that big win Saturday and all of sudden many of their posters have become insufferable. It's going to be funny when FAU beats them this Thursday.

Baloney. You’ve been around long enough to know GoHerd and that he’s always been like that. I don’t think you’ll find another Marshall fan saying a doggone word about Rice academics.

Can you define Tier 1?

To help other state universities catch up with UT and aTm the government set up a Tier One fund that other state schools can access once they have met a set of metrics:

$45 million in annual expenditures on restricted research.
$400 million endowment.
High-achieving freshman class.
High-quality faculty.
Membership in the Association of Research Libraries, Phi Beta Kappa or equivalent national organization.

So far, Houston, Texas Tech, and UT-Dallas have made it.

The THECB and legislature moved the goal posts to ensure that TTU and UH attained the NRUF funding after a few years of the program. UTEP achieving R1 status without the NRUF funding is an achievement, especially while maintaining their mission of providing access to all students of the region.

We join RICE, FIU, North Texas, and UAB on the list from CUSA.

Add USM to that list as well!

I'm still laughing, it is so funny.

Also, not trolling Rice about its academics, it's basically an Ivy league school.

But it's still Rice, in the sports world. I was dogging that.
