So there was a kind of mystique surrounding that university.
And my brother ended up going to Texas Tech.
And so it was sort of left to me to carry that tradition.
Truthfully, I did not get in on my own merits.
I was a part of a legacy group.
I know full well how this country works, frankly, on the legacy bullshit.
Because I am a benefactor of it.
And it really started to haunt me at school because 85% of the student body was in-state.
And so getting in from out-of-state was really difficult.
And I was a good student and I was very active in sports.
I was on the student council.
I did all the things that you should do.
I was a well-rounded student.
Definitely not good enough.
And because my dad and granddad went there and because my dad knew somebody at the admissions, I'm certain the reason that I got in, I did not like that at all.
