From the broader Baton Rouge perspective, however, the Walk-On’s announcement is simply the latest example of talented, highly educated people either not moving here or—as has been the case for years—leaving the area for a hotspot destination shortly after earning their TOPS-funded degree from LSU or Southern University.
This outmigration is a problem with far-reaching and long-term impacts on the quality of life and economy of Baton Rouge, Ball writes.
I have been saying for years that students who use TOPS to get a college education and then leave for a job outside within 5-10 years of graduating should be forced to pay back their tuition.

How bout you just quit giving TOPS to every swinging dick with a C average and give it to the kids who academically excel?
You can’t penalize the graduate for doing well when you’re gonna bribe him to stay in state for college to begin with. It’s not his/her fault they get a Better opportunity elsewhere. That’s on you for voting for the same shitheads who create a business unfriendly environment. Probably cause you think that shithead is “one of us”.

Even if there's no decent jobs in their field due to the politics and business climate? Make those grads pay back money because elected officials have their hands out?

maybe the state should work to attract business by fixing some of the problems it create so these kids don't have to leave.
