Rich Gen X parents and rich boomers with teen grandkids...

Kids are choosing schools based on what their washed up parents and grandparents saw on TV? (A Paramount+ original series, lol.)

Who do you think PAYS room and board, tuition, and sorority and fraternity dues?

Hey college kids, sew your wild oats here but if accidents happen, oh you will have to go out of state .

Like getting pregnant isn't preventable?

If smarter kids go and to some extent settle there that’s good news because one thing is clear-smarter and more educated people are, on average, more likely to be anti maga.

The show "Landsman" paid TCU to film on campus. As a show would do if they filmed at Harvard. Or Columbia. Or in your own home.

That's how shows in production work.

There's nothing nefarious about it.

Are people troubled because a character's story arc involved a college in the South?

Whenever I think progressives in DC can't be more nuts, I get pleasantly surprised.

Interesting. Off the top of my head, we know a handful kids who at Florida, UGA, Clemson, Alabama, Auburn, Ole Miss, SMU, Miami, LSU and Rice who seem to love it. My theory is a large part of their happiness is simply due to the sunny weather during the school year.

And the easy classes, who are you kidding?

There’s protests all the time on these campuses.

No, who are you kidding. Undergrad engineering, BBA in business, political science and pre-med is the same everywhere. These kids are studying hard, having fun, meeting spouses, and building networks to mount successful careers in the booming South and Mountain West.

The reporter believes on good authority there’s a financial arrangement with the Big 12 Conference, which is headquartered in Texas. Big 12 includes colleges like Texas Tech, Colorado (Boulder), BYU, TCU, Arizona and Arizona State.

I always wanted to go to Hillman because of A Different World. Kids are impressionable.

I agree. Nutty post. Also, most college counselors don’t lump the Texas schools in with “the south”. They are a separate category altogether just as U of Arizona and USC (cal) are not considered “the south” but are on the same latitude as some of the “southern schools”.
