TCU is not much of a research university, but Memphis has obvious advantages with the FedEx Institute. TCU has 113 majors and they are oversubscribed in some fields where they do not have any clear excellence.

Overall, it's tough to build a case for R1 status without engineering and applied sciences. Georgetown has neither and it's a tough slog to stay R1.
For those who care, Memphis expects to achieve R1 status this fall when the new classifications are announced. The difficulty will be sustaining at that level. Tier 1, R1 will have been achieved when Dr. Rudd retires.

Yeah, I was kind of surprised Memphis wasn't already on the list. Is the state of Tennessee broke?
