Out of state students are the ones that really impact your financials.

Yeah. The Bama campus boomed with Saban at UA. Huge donations to the school, facility upgrades in football and huge enrollment increases. Saban was worth every penny he was paid. If Mulkey gets a new basketball arena, she is worth every penny she has made at LSU. Common sense

LSU set admissions records the past 3 straight years. Successful sports and national championships do have an impact. LSU had record breaking admissions last fall. One of our family members out of state is going to LSU, not just to get a degree, but sports played an important role in his decision because he loves LSU sports.
