re: VA Tech eliminates legacy and early decision admissions in light of AA SCOTUS decision
Posted by chauncey1 on 8/2/23 at 4:35 pm
From a business prospective, I don't have a problem with legacy admissions.
By keeping legacy admissions open, the university incentivizes alums to donate. If you convince alumni to help “subsidize” the university’s resources and endowment by reserving spots for a few borderline students, the wh...

Thanks for the information. I'll contact the club next time I head to Baton Rouge.
I probably make three or four trips a year to Baton Rouge. The national membership is reasonably inexpensive. ...

I'm asking about tee times because I’m considering a national membership. I live out of state and want a nice course when I visit Baton Rouge. I haven’t played there since they renovated the course, but I have heard good things. However, I don’t want to join a club with limited tee times, particular...

re: Cabo golf trip
Posted by chauncey1 on 8/25/20 at 12:02 am
That trip was the Pueblo Bonito Pacifica. You get access to the course as a guest. The resort was nice, other than the wine. The current was strong so you’re probably hanging in the pool.
The couple we went with are big fans of The One and Only Palmilla, but the course at Q Is nicer according to...

Quivira is a amazing course! If I remember right, 16 or 17 holes had ocean views. You are also looking down on Tiger's Diamanté course for a few holes. We had several pods of whales pass while we were playing, which was pretty cool.
I played it in the morning and afternoon on consecutive days. T...
Venture Capital Investment- experiences?

Has anyone invested in a VC fund? What was your experience?
I'm considering reallocating a portion of my stock portfolio into a VC fund for further diversification. With the world changing, it seems like a reasonable time to invest in early-stage businesses. I also don't mind pulling a little cash...

Northgate is a good deal. People either love or hate the course. I like the course, but you should play it first. The management does a decent job of keeping the course in good shape. They try.
It was 27 holes but after the tax day flood it dropped to 18 with a Fast 5 (practice holes).
Bonus: The...

Texas Children's is ranked as the #1 pediatric cardiology hospital in the country for the past three years. They have a new tower that was opened last year. If I were in your situation I would go there.
Boston and CHOP are also renowned. ...

I know an LSU alumnus, Blake, that owns and operates Copper Cannon Distillery in West Chesterfield, NH. It's 45 minutes north of Amherst. He does tastings on the weekend. If he's working, I will bet he’d give you a free tasting if you greeted him with a Geaux Tigers....
re: Why hasn’t F King been fired yet?

Ralph, no one said Florida or Georgia are “public ivy’s”. However, they have a better academic brand than LSU nationally.
LSU has no reason it can’t be considered a top tier SEC school with the right vision, leadership and investment within a reasonable time frame. It’s a realistic goal and we s...

I agree with gillian.
The right transformation is essential. Universities are not the gatekeepers of information like they were in the past. Everything you study can be found in a library or on google. The school organizes the relevant learning and provides the student with a peice of parchment th...

Posted by chauncey1 on 9/10/19 at 11:13 pm
LSU has no acceptable reason it can't be on par with a Georgia, Florida or any other state school. UGA and UF compete with GA Tech and FL State for state funds and should be at a competitive disadvantage. LSU is the clear flagship school for the state. It will take time to turn around the LSU brand,...
