this is one reason for the explosion in popularity/growth at the satellite campuses. A student still gets some semblance of the "Brand" of UT/ATM by going to UTSA/UTDallas/ATM SA etc. When my kids were starting college 12 yrs ago, I heard an SEC admin (might've even been Nick Saban) say that Texas top 10% rule was actually a boon for the SEC, because a lot of very good students who didn't meet that rule were now going to SEC schools. My daughter graduated from LSU in 2018 and I remember at some parent orientation, they asked us to raise hands by what State we came from, and when they got to Texas, there must've been half the room. I went to UT in the early 80's btw...Geaux Tigers! Btw, people move districts in Texas just to have their kid play for Katy, Allen, etc..

No doubt. Go to UTSA for a year, get good grades and you are guaranteed admission to UT Austin as a sophomore. But that kind of sucks, so why not go to Arkansas, OU, LSU, Alabama, etc. Top 10/6 rules are a huge driver in Texas kids going to other SEC schools.
