State taxpayers need to stop subsidizing JUCO programs and “D1 programs” at Alcorn and Valley. Delta State as well.

MC is a private school and they made a business decision.

Public institutions are paid for by public money. And that ain't nobody's business but the gubmit's.

Next thing you'll be wanting is for them to stop funding dear old state.

Taxpayer money should not be funding dear ol' State's football team.

Not even TX or California funds the amount of JC football, per capita, we do. It's insane, and we get very little return on those dollars. We're the poorest state.

If I am not mistaken, they let every Mississippi kid who graduated in 2023 go to school for four years free if they wanted to go to school there. My son had several friends take them up on it. They got money.

Correct. They need to be funding Southern’s Volleyball team.

There are some good competitive programs that are worth keeping. But some exist for very little reason.
In the late 90s, an older girl at my Church asked me to give her a tennis lesson or two. She had just been given a tennis scholarship to the local community college, and she had never played before.

MTSU was handing out golf scholarships for the womens team when I was there.

Women’s golf scholarships are crazy. I know a guy who got his daughter to start playing golf when she was 14 or 15 and got on the highschool golf team and then started getting scholarship offers from small colleges to play. She might break 95 on a good day.

A few years ago a buddy and I decided to play golf at Gulf Shotes Country Club late on a Sunday afternoon. We pull up and there are school vans and buses everywhere. The D3 whatever conference tournament started on Monday morning and they were all there playing their practice rounds. At the time I had only been playing a year or so and couldn’t break 100. Several groups would play a hole or two with us and then we’d come up on another group and play with or through them. Some groups would play the same hole multiple times. I believe that I could have been competitive on the women’s side. As DCD said, these small schools will give a woman’s golf scholarship to anyone willing to play.
