  CU is at the same level academically with A&M and ISU.  I agree with you on UT and Baylor.

     Indeed, CU is not on the same level
    academically as UT, A&M, Baylor or ISU.

    This same belief in CU's academic superiority often results in their
    disparaging other Big XII schools, and Nebraska in particular. Hence, the
    statement that NU's "lax academic standards" would leave the Huskers out in
    the cold must be taken with several grains of salt.
