Do you own any rare merch spee?Just got all this and a football ticket for about $50 at the Bakersfield College Alumni tailgate
>>158244902>Bakersfield>College .....
>>158244971we have 30k students (because 70% of HS grads are not admissible to 4 year unis)
>>158244902>community colleges have alumni events>they have football teams>they have tailgateswhy
>>158245618In Bakersfield's case, the jr college predates the establishment of the 4 year Cal State Bako by 60 years or so, and they have football while CSUB does not so its a bigger event to get people to come out and reminisce.Also the alumni association is a charitable org that helps fund scholarships for currant students, I am in my 30s and doing well in my career, so I kicked over a couple of bucks to help the new generation of students.
>>158248805nigga who fucking cares I can’t believe you made a thread to show of your $1 china slop from a community college
>>158254225>implying any shit you buy these days isnt ""china slop"

>>158269817Kern County is 51% Latino per the last census.
>>158269817also lmao at Flips not being counted as Asian, truth nuke
>>158245618I used to work in the Institutional Advancement office of a much smaller school. While we didn't have an athletics program, we did have an alumni association and events like golf tournaments. The purpose is to keep a connection with former students so that if they become successful, we can hit them up for donations. When people give money to something, even a small amount, it anchors a feeling of personal importance in them. Most members of the alumni association don't make the school money but since it keeps potential whales in contact with us, it's worth doing. A single million dollar gift to the university covers several decades of running the alumni association with plenty left over. Any other large donations after that is all gravy for the school.
>>158269853Not sure if it's good or bad that Hispanics end up in the local community college at a higher rate than their population of the catchment area would predict.
lmao @ OPs shitty merch but yeah 4 year college is fucking gay
>>158269866Eh, As a teacher, if you are 18 and have no idea what you want to major in, CC lets you bang out your first two years at dirt cheap prices, so much of collegiate pricing is inflated if you need to pay for on campus housing with a meal plan and that kind of bullshit. I think it was like 700 a semester when I was a student, you could even make money back with Pell grants and board of governors waiversGranted it can really suck for some majors, my GF did nursing and the fights for the bio 101 and chem 101 labs were no nasty you had to know exactly when you were eligible tor register and lock in your shit asap.
>>158269890Not every CFB post can be about LSU or Penn State, someone's gotta hold it down at Bakersfield College
I've got a soccer ball from the 125th Everton Anniversary, signed by a player who was a very prominent player back in the 50s and 60s.I also have a match day program from Stephen Ward's first competitive match for Bohemians in the FAI Cup against Skerries Town (he scored both goals in a 2-0 victory, and broke the Eircom League transfer record when he was bought by Wolves for 100K). He signed my program.I also mentioned in a previous thread that I had a hurl as a child signed by DJ Carey, but this was later stolen.
>>158269910my Palomar College Comets would humiliate your condors
>>158269962Different league but yeah you would BTFO the CSU Bakersfield club non NCAA hockey team, not sure if it is even active or if it died during the coof
>>158248805The school I worked at had a scholarship funded by the alumni association. It wasn't much money, about $500 for a single term, but sometimes we'd only get one application so that student automatically won. We rarely received more than half a dozen applications. Think most student either didn't know the scholarship existed or assumed there would be lots of competition for it so it wasn't worth the time to fill out the application for so little money.
>>158244902I knew they were gonna pick a lame Create-a-Team ass logo and name after the first year, so I got this on a hoodie
Ive been ironically rocking a cc hoodie for years. it's my favorite sweatshirt now
>>158244902I like Bakersfield. It's a nice quiet sleepy town
