OT: Cut to Mississippi's college grant program

[NTDawg]

In my opinion this is penny wise but pound foolish

Can't imagine that helps the baseball team.

Anyways, I'm a big believer in cutting unnecessary costs but if your primary plan is cutting costs without looking at how to grow income, you end up like Sears.

It's very short sightes and I think it'll send a lot of our brightest students out of state where they can get multiple grants.

Maybe they should limit grants to kids who aren't on full ride schollies....

.....but also much higher costs.

I don't see that being a big deterrent, and the lawmakers probably realized that as well.
