[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]PP. You see much more Longhorn alum spirit outside the Amtrak corridor. It’s not that they’re runner up to Michigan, it’s that the east coast loves to spend 4-7 years in Ann Arbor before reassembling here.

West Coast and mountain state tech and energy hubs are bigger draws for expat Texans

That’s the point. You see Michigan swag it seems everywhere.[/quote]

My point is that you *don't* see Michigan swag all over Los Angeles or Seattle or Park City or Phoenix.  You do, however, see so much UT burnt orange.[/quote]

That’s BS.  Michigan has far more alumni in CA than Texas.  Texas grads stay in Texas at a much higher rate. [/quote]

shrug.  About half of all living Michigan alum live in Michigan.

The rest are along the Amtrak corridor for the most part. 
Data box: Where are U-M alumni?

the article says that 40% of Michigan alum live in Michigan and "It's clear, however, that local business leaders are worried the state's brightest minds are leaving Michigan. A lot of the young talent is leaving the state," ForeSee Results CEO Larry Freed said at Gov. Rick Snyder's recent economic forum. "The talented workforce is in high demand, and there’s not enough of them.”[/quote]

The article is 8 years old. Semi-worthless.[/quote]
how so? it's an old article, but as a Michigan native I don't think anything has changed at all since it was written. maybe exact numbers are different, but Michigan grads leaving Michigan is still a huge issue the state struggles with. if anything, I'd hypothesize it's sped up in the last 8 years.

I agree with what you’re saying.  I’m stating that since so many Michigan graduates leave the state after completing their degrees, that is why you see much more swag throughout the country.   Furthermore, Michigan accepts a higher percentage of students who never lived in the state to begin with. Naturally, more will leave after their education is completed than probably any other highly ranked public. [/quote]
