UnderGrad Enrollment

[Rekdiver]

Attendance at playoff and Championship games seems to be an ongoing issue.
I would like to see a chart of undergrad enrollment of the playoff schools this year.

Secondly, with the game being moved to January, why does the NCAA insist on us playing a championhsip game in an area that could be subject to very poor weather.....I urge everyone and I may get the Sporting Newsand Coulson...to contact the NCAA on this and contact

The National Collegiate Athletic Association
700 W. Washington Street
P.O. Box 6222
Indianapolis, Indiana 46206-6222

and tell them to get us to a place easy to travel to where there is a small chance of rain and cold weather. It ain't Frisco and it ain't Chatty.... in january!!!!!

Excellent GSU Holligan.....Now put up the undergrad enrollment of the BCS schools this year......I think the comparisons will be obvious. With such small undergrad populations and hence alumni bases it will be hard for most to ever draw large crowds in excess of 20k to a game............

Collegeboard.com has some more specific data on enrollment numbers.

[JMUDuke2002]

JMU is somewhere around 15k - 17k

Total enrollement is closer to, even slightly over 18K, undergrad is over 16K.

[Skjellyfetti]

Wow. I didn't realize SC State was so small enrollment wise.

4k students and 17k average attendance is impressive!

[Flames Fan 10]

liberty is at 11,900 undergrad at the moment.

[FargoBison]

NDSU's undergrad enrollment is 11,733

[BDKJMU]

Or change the championship game to be played on the field of one of the teams playing the championship. With the highest attendance average for the year to determine who gets the championship game. It would give the home team fans a reason to show up to their playoff games.

But I would root for either New Orleans, Dallas, or Houston. It definitely needs to be where college football is king.

But then again they will never listen to the fans. It's all about who pays the most $$$.

While Txstate was not in the playoffs this year, enrollment last I heard was in the 29,000 range. As wittnessed by the 2005 semifinal playoff run, people will show up to watch the Cats when they have proven success on the field.

[El Gato]

While Txstate was not in the playoffs this year, enrollment last I heard was in the 29,000 range. I am sure I will be corrected, but I wan to say we are the 3rd largest in the State of Texas: 1. UT, 2. TA&M, 3. Texas Tech/Texas State. As wittnessed by the 2005 semifinal playoff run, people will show up to watch the Cats when they have proven success ok the field.

[I Bleed Purple]

I'm amazed Weber is over 20k in undergrad students (I'm assuming less than 2200 grad students). Was around 15-16 my senior year in 2003. Davis campus and online, I guess.

[GoAgs72]

For the Fall, 2009 quarter, UC Davis had 24,655 undergrads, 4,215 graduate students and 3,283 professional students (Med School, Vet School and Law School) for a total enrollment of 32,153.

Close. Houston and North Texas are bigger. Texas State is 5th per wikipedia:


Top 10 as of Fall 2009
Ranking University Location Enrollment
1 The University of Texas at Austin Austin 51,032
2 Texas A&M University College Station 48,787
3 University of Houston Houston 37,006
4 University of North Texas Denton 36,206
5 Texas State University–San Marcos San Marcos 30,816
6 Texas Tech University Lubbock 30,049
7 The University of Texas at San Antonio San Antonio 29,133
8 The University of Texas at Arlington Arlington 28,084
9 The University of Texas at El Paso El Paso 21,011

Of course I think this is graduate and undergraduate numbers.

[Flames Fan 10]

if were counting online students you can add an extra 38,000 undergrads to my earlier number of 11,900 residential liberty students.

Stony Brook has more residential students than Liberty? Talk about a lack of campus life here!

[Seawolf97]

Stony Brook is 24K plus with undergrads.

There probably isn't an official stat for this, but I would also like to see how many alumni live within 50 miles of campus...because that's just as important for attendance as student enrollment.

[PhoenixMan]

just over 5,000 for Elon

Pretty amazing what Colgate turns out every year with 2800 enrollment. Go 'Gate!:)

It was reported a couple years ago in the Portland Oregonian that Portland State had the highest enrollment among all Oregon higher ed institutions. PSU had 27K, UO had 25K and OSU had 21K. I don't know what the figures are now but I've heard that PSU still has the highest enrollment.
