It has never changed. Always had northern students just like all southern privates, with Rice a little less so. Sports cost money, endowment has never been great, and admin support has waivered depending on who is president. Football de emphazized in 1950. Put resources back into it in late 1960s.
There is a crowding out effect on donations. TU steers theirs to academics. LSU steered theirs to athletics , which worked when state coffers gave LSU academics all they needed.

Made sense at the time. The campus took massive damage from the 1947 hurricane and you didn't have the lucrative TV deals back then. Football was a luxury.
