The school was a pretty good academic institution in reality, but seeing "Public Ivy" all over the place (marketing emails, banners on light poles around campus, mentioned in administrator speeches) really felt like they were trying to hard to make that mean something. Lots of schools pull stuff like that. My brothers both went to an all male school that called themselves the Harvard of the Midwest. Quote Link to comment

The name was brought up. But I don't remember if it was just a "this is a guy I like" post or serious consideration. 1 Quote Link to comment

TU did have some pretty good rankings academically especially in Petroleum Eng and IT and finance, so it wasn't a huge stretch, but it was a stretch still. Quote Link to comment
