People forget that affirmative action wasn't just about race. It was about geography, income, first-gen status. Remove it and the student body shifts back to wealthy kids from good zip codes. That's what these charts show. Not opinion. Just data.

I have a son who graduated from a US News Top 5 school last May. No one in my family has ever gradated from a private university before. I'm not wealthy. We didn't buy a building or use our contacts to secure a pardon for the dean's nephew.

My son was not alone. There are a lot of non-rich, self-motivated really bright kids at this university. People freak out about college admissions because, in their eyes, their kid who once got a 94 on a science test should cakewalk into an IvyPlus university. People don't want to come to terms with the fact that their kid likely isn't in the top 1% of intelligence, so they look for any and every excuse, rather than accepting the truth.

So much white trash. Texas should have joined the B1G.

No one should be paying 100K/year for GW. Even if you are crazy rich, the ROI just doesn't make sense.

If your kid gets into Harvard, Yale, Princeton, MIT or Stanford, you take every loan possible to get them that degree.

If you have planned for this and/or are well-off and can cash flow it, the other IvyPlus schools (the 8 ivies, MIT, Stanford, Duke & UChicago) are worth it.

Outside of that, unless your state flagship is straight garbage, the ROI for other schools just isn't there.

I saw the bonfire in person in the late eighties and early nineties. It was the coolest thing I've ever seen associated with Texas A&M. The tragedy broke my heart. I'm not gonna watch some video where a guy is using it for clicks.

Let's be real, we are all a bit surprised that a wealthy/famous person allowed their elderly parent to live alone in what seems to be a semi-desolate area.

Isn't it common sense to have her in a gated neighborhood with security or in a luxury condo building with security? That is what I would do. Wouldn't you?

All A&M does is embarrass the SEC.

There is an entire generation of young men who will never get to see a beautiful young lady naked who doesn't have a gross tattoo. I feel sorry for them.

When Will Campbell was drafted ahead of Kelvin Banks, it made no sense to me. It makes even less sense now.

Prediction: LSU will win 8 games at most next year likely 7

Even if they have to bankrupt every hospital in their state, LSU will find a way to win 9 games.
