Tennessee, with a population of 6.77 million, has 10 public four year universities. UT Southern just went public this year.

Louisiana is not in the top 5, but has too many 4-year public universities, regardless of what other states do.

That is incorrect. Of Vernont's colleges, only 4 are public that offer Bachelors or higher...Castleton, UofV, Vermont Tech, and Northern Vermont.

yea wiki has only 4 public 4 year schools in Vermont, but also has their population at 600K which would still place their people per university ratio lower than Louisiana

but Louisiana is still way out of proportion and needs to do something to correct it, but probably never will

Oh I agree 100%. Louisiana is far too over saturated. I was just pointing out that there was no way a small state like Vermont could have 17 4 yr public colleges. I knew that was an error.

I understood you as well, but damn with that massively small population even with 4 public schools Vermont is somehow lower than Louisiana on a per person basis

but it with only 4 schools even for a very low population Vermont is probably still not as bad on a wasted administrative overhead dollars basis as Louisiana with 17.....and several of them in the same small cities or same small regions

lets be clear Texas needs some help too there is a lot of waste and schools that could be shut down or merged and at least one or two systems that could go away

Looks like UNC-CHeat wants to change the rules as other schools were receiving more funds than they wanted them to...

Perhaps the only thing that can unite App and UNCC fans is the chains from those clowns on the hill.

This is becoming a more common model. Kentucky changed to a similar funding model.
