[QUOTE="rifram09, post: 1153888, member: 70325"] It was not my intent to "trash" Wesleyan. The reason I wouldn't want this deal for TCU is not because Wesleyan "wasn't worthy" of TCU buying it; not even close! I was a staunch advocate of buying Wesleyan. My problem is the terms Wesleyan apparently wanted. I'm just saying that some of the benefit of adding a law school for TCU would be the enhancement it provides to our undergraduate students and other graduate programs through dual degree offerings. To allow Wesleyan undergrads and business students to continue to reap the benefit of the law school reduces the value the law school would add to TCU. Moreover, to allow both schools to be named on the law school signals that it is a partnership, not a purchase. This is ok, I guess, but I think it will be hard to improve the perception of the school in the Texas legal community when there is not a clear and convincing rebranding. If A&M was willing to pay for a "watered down" law school partnership, then that is fine. It will probably be good for both of them, but not as good as it could have been for A&M in my opinion. I'm just glad TCU didn't do that. [/QUOTE]
