but I can tell you a ton of BR kids will be heading to UL and Tech in August.


Maybe they've been in BR their whole life and want to be further than just down the road from mom and dad for college.

How would that be different from any other year? I'm just saying that there's a noticeable uptick in kids choosing to stay in-state but not at LSU. These are good kids who are actively choosing these smaller schools.

No, more like those schools offer far more scholarships and incentives than LSU. Same as Alabama and other schools poaching our best. Because of TOPS, LSU barely offers anything to LA kids. I know several kids who were offered great packages from all the other State schools. Most go to LSU because it's close to home and it's LSU.

My daughter was one, she got a great offer from Tech and several Out of State Schools. As a National Merit Scholar and 34 ACT score, LSU only offered TOPS. She went to LSU because it was close to home and it was Me and my Wife's Alma Mater. She graduated in ME and will to this day tell you she hated the way LSU treated her and regrets not going to Tech.
