Louisiana would be so much better off to tie tops into an in state job requirement. Im someone that took advantage of tops and then dipped but if there had been a requirement to stay in state for 2/3 years or i had to pay the money back you best believe I wouldve stayed those 2/3 years (and likely longer honestly).

It should go further than that to attract out of state potential. Maybe it should be an entirely different program, but in line with what you are talking about is one big failure of tops.
As an example, I came from out of state, so not only was tops not an option, I also had to pay at a much higher rate. Guess what, I am still in LA 10 years later paying a ton into the state.
