Who do you think has better Universities? Alabama or Mississippi?

Alabama.
Mississippi schools cater to their state population for enrollment and at the same time dont have the student population to support two major universities.

Texas has the population of qualified students to support more than two major schools, which is evident by the major universities in the state.

If you are telling me that Alabama does not have the population to sustain its universities, than you are telling me yall are wasting state funding and should shut some universities down.
And I would agree. Our state has that issue with some of our schools.

Then decrease the enrollment. It makes absolutely no sense for a state funded school to not predominantly educate in state students.
Arkansas is approaching a majority OOS student body. Freshman classes already are majority OOS. The benefit is putting degree-holders on the doorstep of growing local companies. The state of Arkansas doesn't produce enough college graduates as it is to fill the jobs we're producing these days.
We're essentially stealing good people from other states when we get that whatever percentage it is that sticks around.
I'm for it.

None of the OOS students get "in-state tuition". They get a reduced rate, less than full OOS if they meet higher academic standards.
The infrastructure at the university is already largely in place. The private sector is housing most of them, which is obvious when you drive around Fayetteville and see the big apartment blocks that have sprung up in recent years.
I doubt the state is losing a dime on its OOS population.

Those who meet higher academic requirements get a "tuition break" from OOS prices. That's a scholarship, I guess.
Then they pay rent at $700/person and spend money living here, for at least as long as they are in school.
Out of state students have started tech and retail companies in Fayetteville, including the frat-bro Fayettechill Clothing Co.
It's an investment. We have a booming local economy that needs educated workers. The state unemployment rate is at a record low.

Texas students who cant quite get into A&M or UT come to a fun SEC schools for 4 years, than bounce back to Texas because it has 10000x the opportunities that Arky or Louisiana does.

What?
Bigger universities are able to become better academic institutions, that almost fact in every case. Every university in a state's primary goal is not to just educate people of the state. It is also a method to attract people to the state and bring revenue from outside.

I am not trying to just shite talk Bama/AU, LSU has its share of fricked up practices

Yeah, most do. We have a unique situation in that our university is located in a rapidly growing metro with lots of white collar corporate jobs and a high QOL. They don't even have to leave Fayetteville to start their careers.

As an alum and current parent of a soon to be grad student at UA, I've seen no drawbacks with the enrollment growth and overall campus growth.

Meanwhile, A&M is trying to become the fallback school for East Coast kids by heavily advertising in places like Washington, D.C.
Nothing wrong with recruiting out of state or out of the country. It is valuable to have that diversity. A&M is still heavily in state by a very large margin.
The top out of Texas cities our grads live are:
1. San Fran
2. Washington DC
3. New York
4. Denver
5. LA
However Alabama has more out of state than in state. That, to me, is way passed the point of a state university.

Really? I mean maybe you are right depending on what your comparisons would be but that area in the country is one of the fastest growing. I guess we will have to see when it peaks.
