Texas A&M expected to announce local campus

With the formation of UTRGV this month, it is a little surprising to see that Texas A&M seems poised to announce plans for another university in the Lower Rio Grande Valley.

I wonder if this region has the population (and maybe the infrastructure) to support two major universities.

I was planning on abandoning the “new Texas university” label for posts, but I guess I can keep it going for a while yet.

Update: Confirmed!
