A $1,000 check from St Louis cashes the exact same as a $1,000 check from Mobile.

Your OOS numbers are ridiculous for a flagship university. What happens when the bubble bursts and UA stops giving all this money away to OOS students? It's not going to be pretty

This too. Not flaming here, but how do the Bama alums feel about this? I personally love that our flagship has mainly in state students.

LSU is sitting on the edge of bankruptcy, and you guys have the nerve to question how UA is being managed? Please

While UA gives $$ to some OOS students, a very large percentage don't receive $$ - they are paying OOS tuition/fee's at a pretty high clip.

When a kid from Cali/NY/Texas/Conn compares their in-state tuition costs to Bama's OOS tuition they are seeing a sizable discount, almost half of what they'd be paying if those kids stayed home and went to school.

I think it's a balancing act. UA gives $$ to some OOS students, while they are getting the attention of many OOS students and their parents - when those parents start comparing costs to in-state vs OOS at UA, they seriously consider UA. UA's marketing campaign out of state has grown tremendously.
