If only more Asians lived in Alabama. Auburn has always been a WASP school. That’s why daddies think it’s safe to send their daughters there.

When we’re talking “Asians” here, we’re NOT talking about, say, Kurds, or the Lebanese, right?
I just want to be clear about who is being marginalized.

Not just in the state, but across the state line. The KIA plant in West Point is having a huge impact on the eastern side of the state. Last time I drove through on 85, there were real estate billboards primarily in Korean in Auburn and Opelika. A buddy of mine who lives over there said most of the middle managers are moving into the Auburn/Opelika area and upper management are all building houses out on Lake Harding.

Auburn students subsidize AU athletics at a shocking rate compared to other schools.
When I was a student, there was a sports and rec fee added as a line item to your tuition. I think you then paid $75 for a football season ticket, $30 for a basketball season ticket, and admission to all other sports were free.
Now because of the seating reduction from Beard-Eaves to Neville, as well increased demand, I think students have to buy tickets to everything - baseball, gymnastics, softball, etc.
