I think the Texas A&M system is around approximately 123k total. I'm not sure of how many hopeful aggies attend Blinn in Bryan but I'm sure it is quite a few as well.
But our "system" is not the same as TAMU. Only College Station and Galveston are Aggies. Also, many of our "system" schools have their own identities and their own athletic departments. Most of the A&M-Corpus Christi students that I see are more likely to be t-shirt 'sip fans, and couldn't give a rats arse about the Aggies. But then they try to "use" our name - frick 'em! And, many of the "system" schools have minimal academic standards that are not anywhere near what TAMU and TAMU-G require.

We should only count our main campuses for population.

The Quatar campus is also aggies, and only those three campuses can get rings. I wonder if that will change with the law school.

Agreed. A&M's system has been expanding a lot in the last few decades. We built a campus in Qatar, bought Tarlton University, bought a dentistry school (Baylor College of Dentistry), and are in the process of buying a law school (Texas Wesleyan). All of these schools developed independently of A&M (except Qatar).
