I may as well reply in this one too. EKU is a little over 16,000 with over 13,000 of those being undergrads.

NDSU is approaching 13,000 very quickly. It was exactly 12,099 last year after an annual growth rate of 700-800 students for the previous several years. We probably won't get 13,000 this year, but in the next couple of years we're expected to become the largest school in enrollment in North Dakota (and in the whole Dakotas), surpassing und.

You have good coaches who know how to recruit good players. It's not like the coaches just pick players out of that 2600. They are recruited to play football first and the fact that you school has a small enrollment has little to do with football. They may choose Furman because they like the small size, but Georgia Southern or App State have no advantage because they happen to have more students.

When I started Tarleton (D2 here in Texas) we were just over 5500 students, this past year they were at like 9000. The school is growing in leaps and bounds.

McNeeserocket
August 20th, 2006, 06:05 PM
McNeese had their highest enrollment last Fall of 2005 at 8992. Then Hurricane Rita hit and we lost about 1000 students (not literally).

The hurricane has caused a severe housing stortage with the complete destruction of many apartment complexes and partial destruction of others. Rental property is almost non-existant and very expensive. There are still thousands living in FEMA trailers here, so enrollment at McNeese will be very low. We are hoping that enrollment will be no less than 8000, but that may be optimistic at this point. Next week we know more as late enrollment continues through next week.

Quality athletic programs, including football, are not directly a function of undergraduate enrollment. Undergraduate enrollment plays a roll--enthusiastic students filling the stands and paying fees that partially support the athletic program are important.

A better indicator might be the enrollment 20 years ago, the experience they had with athletics then, and the quality of the academic program. This is because most athletic funding comes from alumni 10 to 30 years out of college. The bettter the academic program, the more likely that they will earn the money needed to be able to support the athletics program at their alma mater. The more they enjoyed athletics as students, the more likely they will contribute the big bucks later on.

Today's enrollments will have a huge impact over the next three decades or so.

I think that can be said about most of the public schools in Texas. We had a MASSIVE jump in our recent past (post 2001) and are trying to keep our numbers from getting terribly high (trying to stay at no more than 28-29,000). SHS seems to be the one experiencing the most rapid growth right now in TX, so I guess it all just goes in spurts...:twocents:

Nicholls State is at 6,677 according to the 2006 Football Media Guide. I think that number is probably stale and based on last spring's enrollment. However, I don't expect the numbers to be too much higher than that.

I actually knew this and Temple gets a bad rap as far as it's commitment to Graduate Education. It is very well known as a leader in advanced degree Education (EDD's) as is evidenced by Bill Cosby.

Unfortunately, this quality has rarely extended to its football program and Philly fans have responded appropriately.

UC Davis could easily have attendance higher than UC Berkeley and UCLA in the near future (we are very close now) as Davis has a lot of room for expansion. The other UC's lack land area as compared to Davis. UC Davis may have the largest enrollment of any school that is not 1A in football. The only reason people aren't familiar with UCD, as compared to the other UC's, is the fact the other UC's have had schollie athletes for years and played at D1 level, while UCD sat in D2 non schollie.

UNI a small public university? W&M is a small public university. Many people don't know we are a state school. Norfolk State is also small. About the same as W&M.

I'm also surprised by the size of some of our I-AA schools, especially UC Davis and Cal Poly.

Yes and no, The small size and academic reputation can be helpful if a student is looking for that over another school. Typically larger state schools have more fan support (I said typically) and are willing to put more dollars into a program (I said typically) . Furman is an anomaly becauses it allocates the resources and its fans allocate the money and time. (in other words because it chooses to be so)

Western Kentucky University is at 18,391. It is the fastest growing university in the state of Kentucky and it has the highest percentage of young graduates giving rate with less than 5 years out of college at 10%. I constantly get mail from WKU this is where I get my facts from.

PaladinFan
August 21st, 2006, 10:33 AM
I agree. The size of your school doesn't necessairly have much to do with your football program. I think my point was that you can probably count on one hand the quality football programs at smaller private schools in all of D-I that can compete for a national title.

Furman and Miami? I'm sure there are others.

nb. I'm not comparing Furman to Miami in any way other than both being private schools that have a yearly shot at the NC.

I wouldn't call UNI having 14,000+ students "small" for a public school at all. The four Dakota flagship universities (UND, NDSU, SDSU, USD) last year had 12,900, 12,100, 11,000 and 8,100 students respectively. Montana State had just over 12,000. Heck, the U of Wyoming has just over 13,000.

I find these enrollment numbers staggering, considering that both "large" state schools here in SC (Univ. of South Carolina, and Clemson) both have enrollments of about 14,000.

Northeastern has about 14,500 undergrad students (per fall sports media guides), but of the 11,750 non-freshmen, only 50% are in school at any point in time because of co-op.

We have more grad students, part time grad and undergrad students, and students in certificate programs than my mind can fathom.
