Leopold,
I think Puckhead did a great job of answering this question. I would only add from a personal level I could have attended any of these 27 schools. I applied for only 2, UT & SMU, the 2 Best B-schools in Texas. I wouldn't even consider 23 of these schools.
He didn't.
I get the whole 'look underneath the current success' thing, but how does that make us the most similar to UT? Not just being a jerk - I asked my former Longhorn athlete wife the question and she honestly doesn't get it, either.
In my mind he did.
I'm not talking about athletics, how could I as our FB team has stunk for 30 years as has our BB for the most part.
PH - "Current football form is but one part of the equation, and likely a relatively small part at that. The academic, financial, geographic, and social ties that bind and motivate votes are key."
Leopold, look at the entire list of schools, including current members, it's 27 in total.
List the Top 4 schools most aligned to UT academically.
List the Top 4 schools most aligned to UT financially.
List the Top 4 schools most aligned to UT geographically.
List the Top 4 schools most aligned to UT socially.
Review your list, look for patterns.
