Curt Cignetti took a dozen guys with him from James Madison to Indiana and it has worked out pretty well for them
 
I am excited about picking up Ayo Adeyi at RB behind Hawkins. He has produced in Morris' offense before. 2023. I will take 6.5 yards per carry from any D-1 running back with 383 carries. Apparently he has had injuries the last couple of years at James Madison.1000003285.png
 
I understand that football generates revenue. But as a 3rd generation graduate, living in Texas, our wonderful university makes me pay out of state tuition for my children to attend the school I love. Yet, donors fork over 7M for a kid to play football. As much as I love sports, our priorities are wrong in society.
sports and the children you have raised have no connection in this.
 
I couldn’t afford to send my youngest to OSU.

We moved to Texas when he was a freshman. I graduated. Wife graduated. His older brother graduated. Mom, Dad, sister, both in laws, and my cousin all OSU cowboys.

We were looking at $26,000/year out of state for a an OSU degree. Instead he ends up at Texas Tech. But we’ll buy a QB for $7 mil.

System is beyond broken.

I'd argue they do "get it" and that is the entire point of the disagreement. It is messed up that a 3rd generation legacy and/or a familial legacy get no break when it comes to tuition. Moreover, it is also messed up that it's ok that a kid can be paid $7m but the tuition situation is not kosher.

the person in need should verify but this is out there:

Yes, Oklahoma State University (OSU) offers an Alumni Legacy Scholarship for out-of-state students whose parents or grandparents graduated from OSU, providing a waiver of up to $5,000 in nonresident tuition per year for up to four years, and there are different versions for freshmen and transfer students, requiring specific forms for verification.
Key Details:
  • Eligibility: Children or grandchildren of OSU alumni living outside Oklahoma.
  • Benefit: A tuition waiver reducing out-of-state costs to in-state rates, up to $5,000 annually.
  • Application: Requires completing an "Alumni Legacy Certification Form".
  • For Transfers: Specific legacy scholarships exist for transfer students, potentially with added achievement criteria for higher amounts.
  • Cannot Combine: This legacy waiver generally cannot be combined with other assured tuition waivers; students receive the highest benefit they qualify for.
You can find more information and the necessary forms on the OSU Scholarships and Financial Aid website or through the OSU Alumni Association.
