Why does the Mississippi University for Women have male students/athletics programs?

Sounds like a great time. I should've gone there for 4 years

Its the times we live in!!!

Used to be an all girls school then started accepting men due to financial woes. For some reason they have athletics, an old high school classmate was their head women’s basketball coach at one time.

It’s in my hometown and the campus is in a dumpy part of town, tiny school with very little money. They should have pushed for State to acquire them years ago but that’s no longer in our best interest.

There is no nice part of Columbus. Hence, Caledonia and New Hope are now larger schools than Columbus. When we moved to Columbus in 1991 as Lee and Caldwell merged due to integration issues, it was the largest public school in the state. Columbus has failed through terrible leadership for 40 years. The MUW has failed and should have accepted MSU's bid to buy them out. Their population has dwindled. They have some amazing facilities but no students to teach. Columbus is a failed city and misplaced Delta town.

I graduated from State and have some older friends who always say Columbus was the fun town for them. Oktibeha was a dry county so going to Columbus was regular. There are still nice pockets, but it's not a place to raise a family. My sister is trying but is married to old money and can go the Heritage route and avoid it. Columbus city schools are gone forever.
