<p>I agree that it will hurt their undergraduate growth. But I'm afraid that the state will just pork feed their graduate programs and take away from the graduate programs at UF, USF, or FSU.</p>
<p>^ Don't worry UF & FSU will get theirs too. Their alumni bases are far too powerful. They are two of the strongest in the USA, and they are now starting to lobby together.</p>
