Bama gives a full ride to National Merit Finalists and kids with a 36 on ACT.

LSU will be free for these kids if they live at home. If they want to live on Campus, it costs about 5k per year. These students usually get the same deal from Tulane.

No offense, but kids with a perfect score and/or NMSF status can and will get great offers from a variety of schools. They can easily get a merit scholarship at a top 50 school. LSU/Bama/UGA are safeties for them.

LSU should target students with 28+ ACT in-state and 30+ out-of-state. Give them a defined scholarship that increases with their scores. Get Livvy Dunne to host official YouTube recruiting videos and promote them. Show Saturday night in Death Valley. Use the attractions that are there to get stronger students.

Not true anymore. There are very few schools, and BAMA is one, which have large automatic scholarships based on a certain SAT or ACT score, GPA or National Merit Finalist status. There are lots of schools using merit scholarships as bait to apply, but then awarding those scholarships as a way to diversify their class. For those who have high stats but do not qualify for financial aid, add diversity to the class, or have the means to pay full freight; schools like BAMA a great, but dwindling, option.
