Well, it doesn't seem to be working since Ole Miss loses the majority of their graduates to Memphis and other out of state areas.
And if they didn't do that the economic development issues would be worse.You'd have a higher percentage of workers without degrees that would likely end up in low paying jobs.
Ole Miss gets almost 25% of its student body from TN, Georgia and Texas. You'd expect most of those kids to return to their home states or other places.

No, no it’s not. Accepting kids who don’t belong in college is a great way to saddle your state with 100s of millions in student loan debt.
False. State governments do not generally have the responsibility. The federal government holds the debt.

I’ve posted this before but the company I work for hires grads of every SEC school and Ole Miss kids are consistently the most unprepared. I chalk it up to being unable to stop the party.
How do you measure this? What's your field? I honestly don't believe what you're saying. I think you're making a broad generalization based on anecdotal experience alone. Ole Miss excels in accounting and pharmacy.

All of this is horse shite. If players like Vince young can get into Texas, Pavia can get into Vandy, Jamarcus can get into LSU, among others…
Then no school is reasonably hard to get into.
For athletes... all but a handful of schools use the NCAA minimum requirements for their admissions and waive the normal requirements.
Then they farm them into specific majors. Vince Young was a "Youth and Community Services" major.
I will give credit to U Texas. They actually publish their players' majors for the public to see.

This has always been a stupid topic for me, it means nothing with respect to the athletic programs to anyone EXCEPT for the service academies, as they are the only athletes held to their schools entry requirements.

Dan Patrick (real name Daniel Pugh) graduated from Dayton which currently has an acceptance rate of 66%. So not very selective.

Don't most schools do this? Ole Miss lists player's majors on their online roster.
