Yes, only the three campuses that get Aggie Rings count.

What does tens of thousands of white suburb kids have to do with a quality football team? They do all they can do and yell at the other team each week.

Arkansas used lottery money to fund pseudo scholarships to inflate its numbers.
We can not get casinos but can get some bogus lottery to send more money to our University but then FIRED our head coach for morals and ethics.
Funny our state system has no morals or ethics but we expect our coach to have them.

On a OT note this is why SC got itself into such a whole vs CU in terms of series record in the 1st place.
We were a liberal arts type school.. they were agriculture and military. You tell me who has the football advantage before recruiting became such a big thing?
And before anybody asks I know that doesn't explain some horrible stretches vs CU like the '90s-mid 2000s. And quite frankly we just weren't that good and CU stressed beating us above anything else. Luckily SC is starting to take control.

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.
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).

Also it is true that to attend one of the Texas state schools, a Texan must rank in top 10% of their HS graduating class.
Wrong. The 10% rule states that if a HS student is in the top 10% of their class they are guaranteed enrollment at any of the state's public universities. (It does not guarantee any form of financial aid or acceptance into any particular program, though.)
What happened is that A&M and Texas got overloaded with applicants. Texas managed to get the rule slightly modified to where they could stop at the top 8%.

Oddly enough, the Arkansas numbers are more than 10,000 higher from when I graduated in 97. I know we're not in line with other SEC schools, but it's still impressive (at least to me).

Huh?
Do you have a link? I did not know about this development. ETA: Found one LINK
How big this may end up being will be the key. I have no idea what royalty rates are on rare earths but if they're quite high (due to them being rare, of course) then WOW.

In Texas that gave the huge advantage to Austin since A&M had compulsory Corps membership until the 1960's. (This is why Rudder is tied with Sul Ross as the most important A&M President ever--he also paved the way for women and minorities to enroll.)

I didn't see any other SEC school that had so many satellite campuses that could change its official enrollment so dramatically
Yeah, had you listed satellite campuses, the Texas A&M University System would've changed the TAMU posted enrollment numbers as well:
Prairie View A&M University
Tarleton State University
Texas Maritime Academy
Texas A&M International University
Texas A&M University at Galveston
Texas A&M University at Qatar
Texas A&M University - Central Texas
Texas A&M University - Corpus Christi
Texas A&M University - Kingsville
Texas A&M University - San Antonio
Texas A&M University - Texarkana

2.9M in 2011. 2.6M in 1997. And I would guess 80% of that growth occurred in NWA. That place is NOTHING like it was in the mid-90's. Gotta love the Wal Marks...

According to Chancellor Sharp, we are going to be incorporating some of the system(s) into TAMU. This is directly related to the huge biotech grant, the vet school and the medical school. I would assume the law school (patent lawyers) is also going to play into the plan.

Well I'm hearing grad enrollment will increase which pleases me. They have the means to make campus absolutely huge, but want to keep it small.

Yeah I don't know what I think about Arkansas getting so big. It was a much smaller school when I attended.
Thankfully our campus is compact. Most of the growth is coming in the form of filling in existing parking lots or completing and adding wings to existing buildings, like this one. The addition will match and actually improve on this 1930s architecture on this one: LINK
The definite positive is that I had feared Fayetteville was growing away from being as much of a "college town" as it had been in the past with all of the regional population boom. The last wave of growth has definitely made Fayetteville even more of a college town. The student growth has led to more bars and more development in the downtown and adjacent areas.
In the 1980s, Fayetteville was basically Oxford in the hills. Now its growing beyond that, but the city has good infill guidelines and density zoning, great trails, and good overall development standards. Fayetteville is great, but in the next couple of years, the core of town is going to get even better. Well, if you like drunken college students stumbling everywhere...

I know there have been a lot of changes recently. The biotech grant is unreal--makes me want to move down there (or at least find a way to incorporate it into my book).
I read the study that recommended some of the TAMUS (that's the system acronym for those outside of Texas) functions (e.g., purchasing) be handled by the real Flagship (sorry Arkansas fans) since TAMU buys a whole lot more stuff than TAMUS. And eight different HR departments for TAMU, TAMUS, and other Brazos County agencies? I feel bad for those about to be laid off but we can't pay for redundant functions.
I also remember that he wants to rename some of the agencies to include the A&M name (such as Texas Forest Service and Baylor College of Dentistry).

The strangest change in NWA has been the polar shift. Fayetteville used to be the undeniable CENTER of everything in NWA, and the rest of the area felt like the burbs in a sense.
Now, Fayetteville kind of feels like the defiant, hippie, rebel child, while all the fancier stuff is 20 miles away. As far as national brand shopping, dining, etc, Rogers beats the hell out of Fayetteville. Benton County has more people and more jobs than Washington County now.
Fayetteville has Benton County beat by far in local businesses, soul, and entertainment. Benton County has the art museum, and will soon be getting a larger performing arts center than Fayetteville. It will be interesting to see what happens when Benton County goes wet in a year or so.
