Now Oxford is the same thing, albeit with more bars and more space, but because they have marketed it as somewhere people want to be for 50 years then folks just believe that. They believe that even though they may not see it, it's there. Starkville has none of that perception so recruits take it at face value.
I just don't buy the fact that the town of Starkvile is playing a major role in this. Yeah, it's dead in the summer, but I think it has more to do with the staff failing to sell the program and Starkville.
