When you have huge a huge OOS population and expensive OOS tuition (even with the high grant aid), this is going to happen. Just a gross system and one that the University has gone way above and beyond exploiting.
You shut your whore mouth, George! I've benefited from that system. I'm OOS and my daughter pays nearly the same as an in-state kid because she busted her arse and had a 4.6 GPA and an SAT score north of 1400. She loves Alabama and won't have shitloads of student loan debt when she gets out, thanks to that system.
I am amazed at the number of kids from places like the New England area, Chicago, and the West Coast that are coming to Bama because of those scholarships. A lot of those kids could go anywhere they wanted but they come to Bama. I'm even more amazed at the OOS kids from far away that come and have to pay the OOS amount because the DON"T have a scholarship, but they come anyway.

Phil, your daughter would have gotten that same money 20 years ago and had the same draw to Alabama due to her upbringing. I love having some out of state presence at the University. I think it's been good for everyone. I don't love it being ratcheted up to almost 60% of the undergraduate population for going on 5-10 years now.

Or even those from close who are OOS who want to go there and would have in the past for a slight increase in tuition compared to in-state, but nothing astronomical. Now it costs the same to go to Alabama OOS as it used to cost to go to Vanderbilt or an Ivy school.
