TCU Sucks t-shirtsModerators: PonyPride, SmooPower
What's this about nine asses? Kiki is getting excited. The donkey's name is Kiki.
On a side note, anybody need a patent attorney? Good, Bad...I'm the one with the gun.
TCU must be doing something right according to the latest...
Wall Street Journal's 2006 Rankings of Regional Business Schools: (Based on how recruiters rated each school on the top 21 attributes) TCU #11 Texas #18 Rice #26 SMU #29 Texas A&M #31 
Baylor ??

That is exactly why I said I am tired of hearing about WSJ articles people pull up because the WSJ is the only damn publication that puts McNeely in the top 11. That's pathetic.
I would trust Wall Street Journal; the widest circulated business publication and quite possibly the most respected. In addition, Texas Christian University was ranked #9 in Best Campus Facilities according to The Princeton Review. Are you more disappointed in TCU's ranking, or SMU's lack of? Don't get me wrong, both institutions hold fabulous B-School's and it's hard to judge who is better; it's like trying to discern who is smarter in a class full of students: sure, on paper one might be over the other, but does that truely define "smarter?" Though, in this case, "better?" And, don't try to apply the argument "I knew some dumb people who went to TCU." It's useless; we can all apply that argument about anything--though, some of us choose not to. Go Frogs! Pony Up!
Those are MBA rankings. Thunderbird is an MBA-only school
You are correct; here is the article and here is the rankings. Go Frogs! Pony Up!
Yes, the WSJ is an extremely respected paper, but their MBA rankings are very one-dimensional in that they only address the opinion of one party (recruiters). The major business magazine rankings are much more respected from my experience.
Whose endowment is larger SMU or TCU's?
I want a horned frog to answer, please.
Wikipedia:
List of U.S. Colleges and Universities Endowments - Jan. 2006 4. University of Texas System - $15.5 Billion 9. Texas A&M System - 4.964 Billion 
19. Rice - 3.611 Billion 54. TCU - 1.033 Billion 56. SMU - 1.013 Billion *Sorry, couldn't resist a little Aggie pride
Wikipedia is wrong. Here is the link to the wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_US ... _endowment Note that the list goes to 57. This is important. Now the source of this entry is here: http://www.nacubo.org/documents/researc ... Assets.pdf You will notice that through number 53, the lists are identical. At no. 54, wikipedia lists TCU, whereas the source lists the Univ. Cincinnati at 54. Wikipedia lists the Univ. Cincinnati at 55 followed by SMU at 56. The source lists SMU at 55 and TCU at 58, one number below where wikipedia ends. Since anybody, including you and me, can edit wikipedia, it is clear somebody just took the source and changed TCU's numbers to be greater than SMU's. Whoever did it, offered no source for justifying the change.
Our endowment, as of now, is now at 1.215B. I'm sure SMU is either tailing or leading by an inch, at the momment, as well.
G Go Frogs! Pony Up!
It is kinda 6 of one, 1/2 dozen of the other. They both have a pretty solid chunk of change. I mean, its not like either one of us are Bob Jones or Liberty or anything
