Offseason gonna offseason.
These are based off of Fall '14 enrollment numbers.
(got them off wiki but each one had a linked source)
1. Texas A&M 62,185
2. Florida 51,474
3. Alabama 36,155
4. Missouri 35,425
5. Georgia 35,197
6. South Carolina 31,980
7. LSU 30,451
8. Kentucky 29,385
9. Tennessee 27,410
10. Arkansas 26,301
11. Auburn 25,912
12. Mississippi 23,096
13. Mississippi State 20,138
14. Vanderbilt 12,686
Few things that pop out:
1. Holy shite at having 62k students on campus. Are yall the biggest campus in the country now?
2. Alabama is now the 3rd biggest SEC school.
3. Auburn is now in the bottom 4
Why isn't the school growing?

I'm pretty sure ASU has like 67k. We have to be top 5 though I would think.

62185 is not on one campus. It's the total number on all campuses in the A&M system. But the last count I saw was roughly 52K for just the College Station campus. 2nd or 3rd biggest individual campus in the US. I think ASU is still the largest.

Auburn has made the decision to NOT grow its numbers.
the university of alabama has started to accept any kid with passable grades and a functional ACT.
Two different approaches.
Quantity vs Quality.
We will find out who is correct in 20 years.

LSU might be trending downward the next year or so.

How would having 5,000 more students on campus tarnish the school's identity?

Aren't the ACT scores almost identical?
In twenty years Bama's endowment will continue to pull away from AU's, that is my guess.

Only until the processing is over then they'll be back at the bottom

UA is a better school now they we were 10 years ago.. We haven't just been packing students in the same classrooms. We expended the entire University. New dorms, new classrooms, entire new buildings. The amount of construction that has gone on in the last 10 years has been amazing.
And every year we keep going up in overall college rankings, Business school rankings, and law school rankings.

There are many ways to grow numbers. UA did it by aggressively recruiting out of state students. Is that the same for LSU?

Who's to say the number for growth would be 5,000? Just to get our enrollment number to Alabama and UGA that's a growth of 10,000 which raises a couple of issues.

You mean discounted tuition, right?

quote:I do think UA has the infrastructure to expand bigger then LSU because yall are more of an out of state university compared to us. LSU simply isnt, we are almost an entire schools based on in state students. I think we expanded way too quickly for no reason. We will cut back and get back to the right size for us. The amount that Bama is growing is insane to me. I think they will eventually expand to large, then cut back a little as well. Which isnt really a negative. You have to grow to realize what the sweet spot is. But to call Auburn out is childish and simplistic. They are the perfect size for their goals and purpose as a university

I just picked a random number. I was responding to the poster who said that AU keeping their numbers low was protecting the "identity" of the school. I was just curious how letting more folks in would destroy AU's image. I'm not saying they should get up to the top 3 or 4 in the conference, I was just saying letting several hundred more folks in per year wouldn't really do any damage to the "image" of the school either.

Is the Alabama enrollment growth and campus construction part of the kill UAB plan?
