As I laid out, MSU (and Ole Miss') academic woes are tied to a federal court case that said that the state of Mississippi failed to provide the same education at all of its state universities. MSU and Ole Miss fall under the administration of an IHL board, which also oversees the six other public universities.
In the mid 90s, because I applied to all three, the admission standards were basically the same at Alabama, Auburn and MSU (and I assume Ole Miss). This decision required all of the schools under IHL administration to have the same admission standards, which brought State and Ole Miss down to the easiest two Power 5 schools to get into. The admission standards at MSU and Ole Miss are basically the same that you would see at schools like West Alabama, Jax State, UNA, et al, but not by choice.

Trash talk is just that.
Actually I see good in the court mandated admission standards.
MSU offers excellent educational opportunities in Liberal Arts, Science (my Masters in Chemistry and Microbiology eventually took me to the quality officer position (VP-QA Regulatory) in a Multinational pharmaceutical company (not bad for a cow college graduate) and one of the best engineering curriculums around - Former head of NASA and Long time President of Dow Chemical both MSU Engineering grads, plus other high level Administers in science and industry.
The reduced entrance requirements have opened these advantages to a huge number of people who were shut out of these career opportunities. Any fool knows that once given a chance, it is up to the person to make what they can from it.
We are generating a large alumni base at MSU that will remember the chance they were given and who they owe their success to.
Simple fact is my advisor all but cried when I chose to not go to Case Western Reserve for my PhD. State held me back none at all in acceptance wherever I wanted to go. I was just ready to work, and I never stopped going up from my first year working. How? What I learned at MSU from Clyde Q. Sheely, Drs. Barker, Brown, McCamish, Tischer, Wang and many others doing an excellent job of building good men and women.
Go Dogs! I could not be more proud of my past and my education experience in Starkvegas.
