Another option that I think would be better than the current one would be to immediately cut TOPS 100% & put that funding directly to the LSU/UL system

If it were earmarked for scholarships for Louisiana residents, then I guess it would accomplish about the same thing. Except students in other schools would not be able to receive it.
Plenty of good students attend community colleges for a couple of years for financial reasons and then transfer to 4 year schools.

I think we would get more band for Louisiana's bucks if we turn this into a student loan system with a twist.
Keep grade and test requirements etc.
But make the student pay it off as a conventional student loan from the state, OR credit dollar for dollar from their Louisiana income tax payments.
Example borrow $50,000 for tuition. Pay $30,000 in Louisiana state income taxes but leave state, owe state $20,000 pluse normal interest.
