The auto manufacturing industry in the state brings in more Asians than this state has ever seen.

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.

Which UT, Texas or Tennessee? By rhe way, the abbreviations will be a source of confusion going forward, since Texas is now in the SEC. Maybe we could distinguish the two by using UTK for Tennessee and UTA for Texas.

Second comment: this topic demonstrates how pervasive and negative the identity issue has become. It began when affirmative action was commenced. Gradually an individual's record of achievement became less important than what identity slot a person fills. We are now experiencing the ramifications of the supreme emphasis on identity with lower standards across the board, academic, medical, scientific, etc.

Look at their last few entering classes, then compare that to the state in demographics.
Check the strong trend in state demographics and you’ll see being one step ahead of it is good business. Has very little to do with left or right and a lot more to do with $, just like everything else in “higher” education these days.

UT openly discriminates against white male applicants. Following in the footsteps of leftist schools on the east and west coasts. Look at their last few entering classes, then compare that to the state demographics. Leftists love to exclude whitey.


Per usual, speaking out of your azz

Right now in Texas Kindergarten-12 grade
26% White
52% Hispanic
5% Asian

UT Demographics

As of July 2022, Hispanics are once again the largest group in the state, reversing a trend from the mid-1840’s on.
