“Pay to Play”.......not unlike sports in some ways.
Must not be from legacy families......isn’t that how some kids qualify to get into “elite schools”, when they can’t qualify otherwise?
Dunno.....I went to a PUBLIC school in KANSAS!!!!!!
Rock Chalk!

I LOVE Christopher Guest’s movies. I like her, too. I like how she’s aging. I hope she was nice to you, My Brother.

"When I was a freshman, I remember Coach Naismith telling us how important it was to play good defense." - Mitch Lightfoot
This reminds me of our esteemed colleagues in Columbia MO who took a Wal Mart heir's money to build a new sports arena, the Paige Sports Arena, only to find out that little Paige Walton Laurie got caught in an academic cheating scandal and had they had to pull her name off the building.
Loved that story.
