He didn't throw anyone under the bus. He made a decision for himself, and I bet his mom will get over it eventually.

ihatedumbpeople: waaaah...my kid gets a free ride through college I probably wouldn't be able to afford otherwise but I'm gonna whine about it because I'm a fan of a rival school...waaaah.


Shut your mouth woman. Just remember your little whining session when/if your kid buys you a house (provided he goes on to the NFL of course, or gets those 'bonuses' the players get at 'Bama)

I didn't see any upstaging, I didn't see any whining. I saw a person answer a question when asked.

She's going to have a lot to look forward to next year.

Sounds pretty damned whiny to me.

Oh wait, you weren't talking about ihatedumbpeople?

I still think that Second one is some good wwebsite as on the internet when you were a sperm in your daddys balls and before it was the internet, thanks for the welcome to message wurd up.

Re: the phrase you bolded -- you've never heard that expression before?

Scrotastic Method: AppleOptionEsc: Unless I see the occupation of a parent as Lawyer or Oil Company Executive or Politician, it's a safe bet no one can afford to send their child to a huge college football school. Jebus, Even UW-Madison is somewhere around 36k a year.

But keep playing that idiot card. I'm sure it will pay off for you someday.

I went to a "huge college football school." Top-10 football rankings two years I was there, a Bowl victory over a huge program, and a handful of NFL stars/first- and second-round draft picks were on our team. We also won national championships in several other sports, including big ones like Men's Basketball. No scholarships or assistance for me, tuition and books totaled about $10k/year I think. But I don't know exactly because my Federal Government-employed father paid the bills.

In fact, I just went to my college's website: tuition there, at the flagship campus of the state's university program, is still under $9k a year for in-state residents.

So, you know, you can call me the idiot, or you can deal with facts.



The fact is his value of 36k a year for UW-Madison is pretty close to reality. Tuition for Madison instate are around 5k a semester (less for Wisconsin residence, slightly more for Minnesota residents so about 5k), so 10k a year instate, more than twice that out of state, so 20k a year. Cost of living in Madison is another 10k between housing and food. (6k for housing 3k for food). So already we are double your stated value of 10k a year, and that is for instate tuition, we are at 30k a year for someone that is out of state.

To put it in perspective the smaller state schools in Wisconsin cost about 10k-15k a year (LaCrosse, Platteville, Steven's Point, etc) for tuition and living.


You profile says you are from California so lets grab a school out in California that could potential fit your bill UCLA. UCLA has a really nice table of everything. Cost of living: Off campus apartments 28.5k a year for instate residents hmm that is closer to his 36k estimate. How about out of state? 51k a year. Well now guess we can toss out those schools.

Now lets start going to other schools around the country. Lets say Oregon, Alabama, West Virginia, and Florida.
-Oregon
Instate: 7-8k a year, tuition.
Out of sate: 24k a year.
Oregon's cost of living is between Madison and UCLA's so it comes out to about 15k a year for them, so you are still looking low to mid 20k's a year at best for instate.

-Alabama also does cost of living estimates:
Instate: 22k a year (that is tuition and cost of living)
Out of state: 34k a year (again tuition and cost of living)

-West Virginia again cost of living so these are tuition and cost of living
Place is farking cheap
Instate: 16k a year
Out of State: 28k a year

-Florida again cost of living
Instate: 20k
Out of state: 27k

In short 36k is slightly high for a lot of Major Schools but not unusual for a large portion of their students. For example UW-Madison has close to 40% of their students coming from out of state which is extremely high (it is pulled up by Minnesota, but it is well above the majority of major schools that have similar deals by a good 10-20%).

So now that the facts are in front of you I am going to call you an idiot.

Idiot.

Next year? Tomorrow. And LSU can't biatch about the coin she took from them, because that would be admitting that they committed a major rules violation. Free money, baby, and all because she wouldn't stay bought. She'll get over it when that dawns on her.

This.

If you're paying 20k/year for housing/food as a college student, you're a moron with no friends (or you really really really really really really like being alone).
