First time was 1988 to 1992, second was 2021. Took some of the same classes. Two things, the 3 credit hour classes were now 4 so you could graduate with only 12 to 15 hours a semester in 4 years instead of 18 to 19, and the tests we all open book, open note.

I'm not a "back in my day" person, this is something I actually experienced. If you do not pass a college course today you aren't giving any effort at all.

What hurts Tulsa is a University of Phoenix degree is cheaper and counts the same 95% of the time. Why pay Harvard prices for, well, Tulsa. Going to the University of Tulsa because I loved the basketball program is one of the dumbest financial and career decisions I have ever made.
Well I hope open book tests and such has been fixed by Carson. Fall 2021 was Carson's first term as President. Were you there in the spring or fall of 2021?

FIRE BLANKENSHIP NOW!!!

Sucks watching the school and programs atrophy, but it's the age of semi-pro NCAA teams and a small liberal art college ain't gonna survive.

I hate everything OSU and want to beat them every year, but I was over this loss in the second quater...

That's not my fault or my lack of love for the school, it's the horrific handling of the school by the administration over the past 30 years.

When did you go back to school? I would think that changed when we got Carson installed as president?

Haves and Have Nots, and we can't claim higher academics anymore. But then, having returned to school a few decades later to finish, I can say the classes today are so watered down anyone making below a C intends to do it.
We got approximately 40M in extra donations, and another 30 or 40M donation would have been enough to set up NIL in football. So not quite 100M. But yeah, that's approximately what we needed. We got half way there.

When it became semi-pro football this was where TU with the financial troubles would end up. A 100 million dollar infusion into the program was the only way to avoid that.
Bingo. Pains me deeply to say it but the days of David competing with let alone beating Goliath are mostly over which is what made college football great. NIL/instant transfer are the absolute kiss of death.
