This is a misperception. There is not a "private" school advantage, per se. There are 60 schools in this country with endowments large enough that their financial pitch is worded something likeAggies2009 said:TxA&Mhunter said:
Smh do You even hear ignorant that sounds?
He's been to Omaha more times than our entire program..... He has more wins in Omaha then we do as a University ever....
He is younger than an Rob Childress... He recoups the state of Texas and is a well-known elite coach... Who has been in contention for some of the top jobs in the country....
He's convince more kids to turn down draft money than you could shake a stick at...
Again, he'll have a tougher schedule and not as many advantages when it comes to scholarship limitations.
Not saying he can't do it here, but it's not an apples to apples comparison. A successful tcu coach isn't necessarily going to be successful at A&M.
That is copied directly from Vanderbilt's website. Our rough math two years ago when we visited with our daughter was that it would cost $78K for a year and we would be responsible for about $32K of it. They have the rest. Notre Dame and Stanford have similar deals. Duke does not, they say that limited loans may be used. USC does not either.Quote:
We meet 100% of every student's demonstrated financial need, without loans.
How do they do this? The size of their endowments are so large per capita that the earnings are capable of running the school without tuition from any given student, or even with only 40% or less from over 90% of students. Some rough numbers with in the case on Endowments 2019 numbers:
School - Endowment - Enrollment - Per Capita
Notre Dame - $11.96B - 12,681 - $943,143
Vanderbilt - $6.92B - 13,537 - $511,192
Stanford - $28.95B - 15,611 - $1,854,462
TCU - $1.68B - 11,379 - $147,640
Texas A&M - $13.59B - 69,465 - $195,638
I put A&M in just to show our place in the world but the real point here is that the first three are elite private schools who happen to also play sports at a high level. At all three of those schools the university offers all students grants from endowment earnings above the families demonstrated ability to pay. Because they offer those programs for all students it gives them an advantage with sports like baseball because they will offer than to all baseball players as well.
Quite obviously TCU cannot do that and looking at their website there's no attempt to say they can. They are not competing with the other three for students. With that in mind they're basically recruiting with 11.7 as we are. One thing to note is that about 1/3 of their team is not from Texas. That's probably a result of needing to cast a wider net to find enough kids that an afford TCU and play baseball at this level.
A fearful society is a compliant society. That's why Democrats and criminals prefer their victims to be unarmed. Gun Control is not about guns, it's about control.
