Imagine Pontiac with OU and the Oakland County Municipal complex located downtown as well as an I75 freeway interchange. It might be like a cross between Ypsi and Ann Arbor.

Ypsi and Ann Arbor grew around the core universities there. As the universities grew, so did the town to support them. Oakland was bare ground in 1957 and just a commuter college in 1961. The Rochester area was booming [[sprawl-wise) without reference to Oakland. OU was always oriented on Rochester and not on Pontiac.
