Probably should be. Too many kids are wasting time at universities when they'd be better served by attending technical or vocational institutions. The country's full of youngsters with degrees that won't do them any good at all. Highly skilled/paid professions are out in society begging for newcomers.


And an Alabama child with a 25 ACT and 3.5 GPA gets $2000 a year toward his $24K a year bill, while the kid from NY/TX gets a fee ride because he has a 32 on his ACT. Even after generations of the AL child's family having paid taxes that built the majority of the buildings on campus. That same child probably can not afford to attend the State funded University so he goes to Jr College or goes deep in debt. He will either quit his pursuit of a higher education or get an inferior one. He will stay in state and pay taxes the rest of his life. While the TX/NY student gets a free ride and then head home to use his degree to get a job and pay NY/TX taxes. That is fair to the Citizens of AL. The PTB know that this policy will be accepted because the fans do not want to resist anything that might effect the Football Teams (as witnessed in this subject post).

I don't see the problem.
