You have made that point already, yes.
The CC pathway is “assured.” Anything OP doesn’t prefer to that can come off the table without berating the OP to accept options they don’t want. Good information has been provided; we don’t have to keep saying the same things over and over again.
(ETA: I believe Louisville is “assured” also. The OOS “sticker price” is 52K/year and it looks like OP would get at least 15K in auto-merit and potentially more.)
