Let’s see the University of Texas at Austin does have more than 50,000 students and does have the highest academic standards for admission than any other public university in the state.

The sports program brings in more cash than any university in the nation and it has the largest endowment of any university in the nation.

And the football team has been know to win national championships and Texas has one more than twice as many games against A&M than A&M has won against Texas.

[The University of Texas] has the largest endowment of any university in the nation.

I don't believe that's true. Harvard still has the largest. Because so much of UT's endowment is Permanent University Fund, it fluctuates with the price of oil and gas. I believe UT's endowment is now #4, behind Harvard, Yale, and Princeton. UT is close to Princeton and Yale, but only about half of Harvard's endowment.
