University merger talks


The JSU University system

This may be suited better for another board, but I am thinking how it would affect sports. If Alcorn, Valley and Jack St become the JSU System, the ability to put more $$$ into athletics for afore mentioned schools should improve. I know I know we don't want to lose culture and tradition. That is not a must by-product of the union. Alcorn already doesn't field the same amount of sports as the others. If you look at it with an open mind :lecture: there may be some vilidity to the idea in these times.
Wow maybe even a benefit to the universities as a system. The past has shown that a university system can be advantageous. (PV, TnSt).
:)Educate me to what I may be missing.

AHHHH.:(
Sport's ain't even in the mix on this one.
This shat has about as much chance as of happening as a snowball has in hell of not melting.

These "get rid of HBCU's, agenda driven clowns " want to save money and create a super school, how about these redneck mofo's suggest merging Ole Miss and Mississippi state and have 1 big arse super SEC University member with USM as a satilite campus for South Mississippi.
Maybe then they could compete on a yearly basis in the SEC instead of twice every 20 years.

Let that clown arse Governor and his sharecropper black arse buddy that went along with this shat, propose merging those schools for once and then we can see just how many of these necks that say the Governor is just doing his job, listen to him, will stroke out and burn the Governor's mansion down down to the foundation.

If you think that Barbour is shutting down athletics at Alcorn and Valley to increase the athletic budget at JSU, you are sadly mistaken. That's one of his goals, which are not talked much is cutting the athletic budgets at those schools. So don't look for JSU to gain the budgets from Alcorn and Valley. So many people fail to see the logics behind this:shame::shame::shame:

It won't be raised one dime.
In fact, the Governor's own study say that closing, AND THAT WHAT IT WOULD BE, Alcorn and Valley would only save $35 million a year.
That shat ain't even enough to pave street's in Jackson for the year. :lol:
They do this and Valley and Alcorns campus would be shut down completely withing 5 years and that's what they want.
How in the hell can this clown arse Governor and his supporters say merging will save money yet all three campuses will remain open with the same funding needs as before.:retard:

You can believe that the money that Alcorn and Valley would not get would go to Mississippi State, Ole miss, USM, DELTA STATE (Who never get mentioned in the merge mix), etc.
 
Re: The JSU University system

Barbour has an ulterior motive as always. It's something else that he wants that has made him come up with this brilliant idea...:rolleyes:
When he get whatever it is he is trying to get, he will once again drop this lame idea that has gotten people riled up for nothing.

Look for it.
 
Re: The JSU University system

If Barbour really want to save money tell him to close Delta State it is closer to JSU than either MV or Alcorn. I bet he shut this idea down real quick at that thought.

Personally I think the old Consent decree gonna put a stop to this from the get go. I believe all three universities are still under a Federal court order.

Barbour's ulterior motive isn't actually his. It's been a widely-discussed idea among certain 'sectors' in Mississippi politics.

The ultimate goal is to turn the campuses into prisons.

Don't let anybody tell you anything different.

To let them tell it, Alcorn and Valley make perfect prisons - all you need is the fence.

That's what they want.. Ultimately.

Barbour may not be the mastermind behind it, but he HOPES to profit from it in some way.....2012 no doubt.

He is the voice, his cronies are the puppeteers.

He will not touch the CC because they are breeding grounds for the PWCs.

Re: The JSU University system

Honestly, I think the general thinking behind all of this is right. MS does have too many schools. BUT that also includes PWCs. We have a lot of JUCOs, then we have three HBCUs. Idealy, It would have been nice to have about 4-5 schools strategically placed around the state. WHY do we have TWO SEC schools? The people of MS would probably be more open to this if there was a plan to redo the entire system. If they combined MS State and Ole Miss, they may not have as much resistance to merge the HBCUs. The rest of the schools could probably function as they are. That would give us 5 universities. It may make NO sense to do this right now but 40-50 yrs from now, we might be better for it. And not to sound like I am out of touch but we have an extensive JUCO system in MS so anyone, black or white, who wanted access to education would have it. We also have to remember that USM has a Gulf Coast campus and Alcorn has a Natchez campus.

Re: The JSU University system

I agree with some of your statements, but Alabama has more schools than Mississippi, no state lottery or real casinos like Mississippi with the exception of possibly Victoryland, and yet there is no hint of shuting down any school in the state. I think yall need to watch Barber. It looks like every school in the state of Alabama is trying to come up with football teams, but again there is little or no hint at all to possibly close any of its schools.

How many JUCO's does Alabama have?

The bottom line is that, we have 8 schools and we have to deal with it. :lecture: Mergers will never work.

Alabama also has nearly double the population of Mississippi and a more diverse economy.
