I read an article about the JJ fiasco. It was reported that a High School in Cali has decided not to allow MTV to film its students for the Reality Show. If the district would have allowed the filming, the district would have gotten $40,000 for scholarships. SOOOOOOOOOO, this is PROBABLY why the "powers that be" at SU are "okay" with the show. SU probably received $$$ for this. And we (some of US @ home)know what that meansssssssss... No, not really, b/c that doesn't happen anymore. But $$$ talks and the other stuff walks.

That's SOOOO true! If I know SU like I know SU, they didn't allow the show to be taped on campus without a few "benefits." This show will showcase the university, its greek system, the band, Bayou Classic, etc. Oh yeah. They are gonna be cool with how the show goes down.

The high school in Cali can pull out because it is not a selective enrollment institute. Kids from all over can not apply to attend a high school. Colleges, on the other hand, have control over who attends. It is a for-profit institute. They see $$$$ and everything is cool now. This is gonna be a hot topic in the state.

Just a thought: What if this wasn't a BET show based on an HBCU and it was being taped at LSU?? Would there still be all the drama?? I already know how they roll on that campus....
