TCU chose wisely...
The law school that could have been TCU's. Probably a good decision though.
Watched my Nephew graduate on Friday night down in College Station (Architecture. Is starting at an excellent firm in Fort Worth! I am unspeakably proud!). He was in the last group of graduates, which included the Law School. I did ask that question of some of the folks down there, and the most common answer was a wave of an arm, followed by "Well, we have plenty of room to build it here!"I am surprised A'nM didn't more the whole thing, records, books, and classroom faculty, to College Station. If they want their "flagship campus" to have the cache of being home to a law school like UTx's is*, shouldn't the law school actually be on campus?
*and Baylor's, and SMU's, etc.
What you said may be true, but there is likely a bit more to the story.I am just speculating here and have no first hand, second hand, or Chipotle leak type info. Just an observation on my part.
TCU opening a medical school at the University of North Texas health center in FTW was smart, because UNTHSC had the infrastructure in place with all the programs, including D.O. Just no MD program. So, a good partnership for both parties.
This is where I jump the track. I did not realize TCU was doing med school classes at the TCU campus in addition to those at the University of North Texas facility. Plus, I mentioned previously the lack of any signage at the University of North Texas facility that would indicate TCU has a medical school there.
I think the arrangement with University of North Texas is going to be only temporary. Give TCU 5-6 years of operating a med school, then they look to build their own building/hospital on the TCU campus and part ways with University of North Texas. Maybe it’s just me, but it says a lot when almost half the medical classes are on the TCU campus. Maybe it is nothing and I am wrong, but I think TCU has an endgame in place.

It is frequently complex. For example, Baylor College of Dentistry is part of the Texas A&M Health Science Center and Baylor College of Medicine is no longer affiliated with Baylor University. Baylor Scott & White Health is a clinical campus of Texas A&M College of Medicine in Dallas and Temple. Although the Temple clinical campus is transitioning to become a branch campus of Baylor College of Medicine in 2023 and all TAMU COM activities will move from Temple to expand the Dallas campus at Baylor University Medical Center.Watched my Nephew graduate on Friday night down in College Station (Architecture.

Give them a big footprint/image/presence in North Texas.
Texas A&M already has a big footprint...mostly because they are a bunch of backwoods, barefoot, overall wearing galoots.Give them a big footprint/image/presence in North Texas.
Meant gives them ...Who?

Very complicated group of affiliations. The UT system is much more straightforward.
Of note, we will soon have 16 medical schools in Texas.
UTMB-Galveston-MD
Baylor College of Medicine (Houston)-MD
UT Southwestern-Dallas-MD
UT Houston-MD
UT San Antonio-MD
Texas Tech Lubbock-MD
Texas A&M-MD
Texas Tech El Paso-MD
University of North Texas (TCOM)-DO
UT Dell Austin-MD
UT Rio Grande Valley-MD
Incarnate Word (San Antonio)-DO
TCU-Univ North Texas-MD
University of Houston-MD
Sam Houston State University-DO
UT-Tyler-MD
Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend?Who?

Yeah, either grow or be eaten is what it seems like.Correct...and remember that UTSW and THR/THPG have their own collaboration and wouldn’t be a bit surprised now to see BS&W go back for another attempt at Memorial Hermann.
