Did you read this from my friend allin2010?

The original poster is correct, but is that a bad thing? Alabama has grown their product, primarily through athletics. Instate kids are not being turned away, they just grew. The big thing is that Academics have not fallen back. From 2018 Enrollment.LINK . Nearly 15,000 in-state students were enrolled at Auburn that semester, more than 1,500 more than enrolled at the University of Alabama. Alabama was second with just over 13,000 students, followed by the University of Alabama at Birmingham with 11,000. Just 40 percent of Auburn’s 24,000 undergraduate students came from somewhere other than Alabama. UA got more than 1,000 students from six different states, including 1,100 from California and 1,600 from Illinois.


Huh?

Oh yeah... and Bama still has full time recruiting staff residing in that shithole known as California.

As long as they pay them well, it's better than residing in (insert any city in Alabama).

Yes, even said it was a great response. My original post supported OP claims so what are you exactly getting at?

I still stick by post also Auburn is moving to the same type of model. Allin2010 broke down the raw numbers even said Auburn only has 1600 more Alabama residents. It's only so many College ready seniors in the state.

Alabama Nursing/Education/Law

Auburn Veterinarian/Civil Engineering/ Agricultural

UAB Medical/applied Studies

So a University shouldn't go out and try to recruit the best possible talent even if in a state you find unappealing? I lived in California trust me it ain't a shite hole outside the big metros it's very conservative.
