[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]interesting, but I dont agree that places like WI and MI and Il and UVA and UVM are giving much merit money to OOS. Bama and SC and Ole Miss, yes. But I see the need to buy these kids[/quote] What do you mean “buy these kids”. [b]Aren’t all schools “buying” kids?[/b] The amount of marketing swag we receive from them indicates they are (e.g., Chicago). Also, in many cases, kids who take the SEC offers are definitely the winners. Although agree with the pp who said these schools are targeting affluent suburban kids, that is definitely happening and agree it is problematic. [/quote] No. Per Jeff Selingo, colleges are buyers and sellers. The buyers (like OOS flagships) are buying kids by offering them a discount masquerading as "merit awards". The sellers (like Chicago) are sending you marketing materials because they expect you to buy their exquisite product at their exquisite price.[/quote]
