Room and Board $9,974
Books and Supplies $1,200
Other Expenses $4,120

So it actually cost around 12k a year to attend as in state...

Why do Saban and Julio go to the same barber shop? Saban must’ve been dropping off a couple of chargers to the freshmen.

If you don't have the grades to get a scholarship and can't afford to go to some of the "lesser" in-state universities, maybe college isn't for you.

I think the producers of Coming to America ought to sue LeBron for copyright infringement of barber shop conversations.

Did you have a 30 ACT? AU pays $1000 a year for anything less. UA gives more money, but many people think that is only to spur growth.

So this is all Auburn/Alabama's fault, not the state legislature that cut nearly 40% of higher education appropriation funding

While the universities should do a better job of cost management, they are forced to close the gap left by funding cuts from the state.

Now that Bama has over 50% out of state students and AU with almost 40%,

Out of state students are very "profitable" due to high OOS tuition costs. When budget cuts happen from the state funding, universities have to find money somewhere and OOS students is a good start

Not sure why you are directing this at the academic mission.

Auburn Athletics brought in $150mil with a $15mil surplus last year. Not like they kick money back to academics

I had a 28. Got half tuition from the University and the engineering college matched it. This was in 2006, so things may have changed slightly.

The State funded more than $250M each to both schools. How much more is responsible ?
