The richest 1,000 students at Texas make the richest 1,000 at Baylor look like bums.

And the poorest 90% of Baylor comes from much wealthier families than than the poorest 90% of Texas.

Yes, Baylor is a rich kids school.  So is TCU.  Not sure what there is to even debate there.  It's over $50k a year for a mediocre education, and it's over 80% white kids from well-to-do suburbs.

Texas outshot Baylor 57% to 39% and won the turnovers 2 to 7.  

That oughtta be worth a lot more than an 8-point lead.

Oh, they got 7 extra free throws.  I see.

That's fair we probably just define it differently. I went to SMU. I absolutely consider it a rich kid school. So schools like TCU and Baylor whose students have a lot less money I don't think of as rich kid schools. 

Granted, I got a lot of money to go to SMU. My parents did fine but I didn't have money growing up. I'm sure I'd me middle-of-the-pack parental income wise at TCU or Baylor. 

(I also know a lot of wealthy UT grads)

We should be up 14 if it weren’t for bullshit technicals, phantom fouls  on us and no-call muggings.

Life on the road for Texas in the B12. 

Really glad to see RT take a timeout to slow down baylor's momentum and complain about a terrible no call where the Texas player was obviously fouled.

The bourgeoise is prevalent but not as numerous on the Baylor, TCU or SMU campuses as you think.
A lot of kids are offered partial academic scholarships and then get sold a bill of goods on how much of a better academic experience that they're going to get based on being in Waco, Fort Worth or Dallas than at a big state school. 
If you have a major like pre-law or engineering then you probably break even if your financial award offsets a significant portion of the cost of private school tuition  ($51,750) vs. UT/Aggy ($13,500) within a decade, but if you're an education or communications  major you're going to be making those student loan payments into your 70s.

That's something you just don't expect out of a terrible coach like Rodney Terry.

A lot of mediocre private schools artificially inflate their tuition to appear more prestigious. And then they turn around and give all but the wealthiest students (90%+) financial aid . I'd be shocked if that werent the case at Baylor. 

Posted

Of course that's a foul.

 

So, if that earlier "and-1" that had zero contact was a foul, then Abmas' last shot should've been an and-1 for Texas. Same for that tip-in just now from Dylan. No contact, so obviously an and-1 situation.

WE NEED TO BE CONSISTENT, REFS.

Ditto Abmas' 3-pointer.

That's about right. From the Googles: "Financial aid is a critical part of most students' education. Currently, about 70 percent of Baylor students are on financial assistance or scholarship aid."

Bro that's fucking terrible on Disu. What ever.

Meh... lemme know if they get it under eight.

Drew is getting outcoached and killed by prep and adjustments - if I'm him I let my guys figure it out right now.

Nvm.
