Yes. That make me spoiled and rich kid?

Not if you were a gifted athlete

 

[StarRaider]

You a Baylor alum?

I have 0 affiliation with TBSFBAG but IMHO I have never met a "spoiled alum" from the school.... ymmv

 

[Carl Pickens]

Negative on the subject.

Didn’t you go to Baylor too?

 

[clarksvol00]

Not a UT dorm but I spent a summer in Shelbourne Towers sharing a one bedroom apartment with 3 other guys. No air conditioning.

I don’t think you could find such a place like that over there now.

Was that the privately owned apartment building behind Carrick?

Well..didnt work that way 50 years ago,. well maybe a transfer here and there.

Let me ask you as I was always wondering and we touched on it in past..

How do you know Jonathan Smith from Hixson?

Edit: I just typed that and like whoah..50 frekin year ago. ****.
Correction 40 years ago . Dang cannot even maff

 

[zeppelin128]

maybe the loan processor the Feds use is connected to PA?

Likely. I just remember getting a letter from them saying, "hey, we've got your loan now." Late Obama second term.

I posted in the other thread that some of the interest income is (or at least was) earmarked. I realize the Feds move money around so maybe it doesn't matter but it still reduces revenue. So maybe you could charge what the Feds pay to borrow what they loan but it causes short falls elsewhere.

The other concern I have with it is reducing the cost of borrowing will encourage more borrowing which drives the cycle again and puts upward pressure on tuition.

IOW - I don't know if reducing interest rates would be a net positive.

Personally I advocate reducing the borrowing limits to put pressure universities/colleges to be more cost efficient. Might hurt in the short term but reduces the structural problems that will keep this problem a constant.

Pair my idea and yours together and we might be able to get somewhere.

Another issue is from counselors. It was beaten into my head that military or university throughout HS was it. Anything less was basically a "failure", which is incredibly foolish of course, but that is how most Millennials were counseled if we are being honest about it. There was a real disdain shown for trades or Community College. That stigma seems to have lessened a bit. It needs to lessen a lot more

nosiree! I am a CHS Blue Raider and we won at Baylor in my junior season and ... I remember their coach (Luke Worsham) blew a gasket that night. The Baylor kids were always class. I just like messing with OB.

I remember a conversation that included him, but I don’t know him. I knew of some of the Chattanooga wrestlers from ‘83-‘85, but didn’t know them personally…. Except a guy from East Ridge

Yep, Hess didn’t have AC when I went to UT. It actually worked out great though. Everyone in the floor would open their doors and windows to get the air flowing and we all got to know each other quickly. It was a ton of fun!

So the guy who has fought government censorship for years decided to suppress evidence for the government? And he exposes it all to Joe Rogan of all people? Color me skeptical.
