The research is done in Corpus Christi.
Eta: Alright, you got me talking out my arse.
Looks like they've gotten better in College Station.
Sea Grant Funded Research
In the 2016-2018 cycle 4/8 projects are in College Station. 2014-2016 there were only two Sea Grant funded projects in College Station.

College Station is 1 1/2 hours from the gulf. Of course a lot of field work is done in the gulf.

There probably is a lot of research done in conjunction with the large facility on campus. Makes sense to count it.

TAMU-Corpus Christi is its own university and is funded through the "system." It is not part of the Sea Grant program. TAMU-CC conducts important research, but it isn't at the same level and doesn't share the Sea Grant mission as TAMU at Galveston.

Auburn
1. Alabama (65.8%)
2. Georgia (12.1%)
Considering how much Auburn likes to think of themselves as part of Georgia, you'd think this % of Georgia kids would be higher.

One question, why do several percentages for teams add up to less than 100%. I can understand being off a percent or so, but some are missing 8% or 9%

A lot of people don't grasp that A&M Galveston is an extension of the College Station campus, in Galveston. Sort of like how Guantanamo Bay Naval Base is the United States, in Cuba. A&M Galveston is the same university as A&M College Station. It just offers ocean-related degree programs and conducts ocean-related research that cannot be done out of College Station. Same thing with Texas A&M Qatar and The Health Science Center.
A&M Corpus Christi is a separate university funded and governed by the A&M System. We share a board of regents, a chancellor, and a system executive committee, but it is a separate university with its own president. It is not an extension of the College Station campus like Galveston, Qatar, and the Health Science Center locations are.

Because all of these schools have 0.4% or less for roughly 25 states or so.
Ole Miss has something like 0.27% of their students from Connecticut. If you add up all of those small percentages, then the roughly 3-5% of kids from out of the country, it would add up to 100%.

I would assume the reason is that not all 50 states are listed. Each University probably has a kid or two from Hawaii... making up 0.001% of the University. But not all 50 states were listed for each school.
My guess is the bottom 40 states or so combine for 5-10% at each school.

Yep, those plus international kids.

Kentucky pulls secondary state students primarily from outside the SEC (mostly Big Ten country). Arkansas does the same plus Texas.
We also have a fairly sizeable foreign student population because the U of A is big school that is still mildly affordable. Quite a few Koreans, Malaysians, Indians, and Middle Easterners come to school here and a decent amount settle down in the area.

About as astute a post as one could expect from someone with 29 posts. 
UTIMCO, which is a non-profit investment management corporation, doesn't "manage A&M's endowment". It manages A&M's share of the PUF in addition to managing UT's endowment. But aside from that fact, UTIMCO is managed by a board of directors consisting of 9 members. 3 of the members are appointed by UT, 2 of the members are appointed by A&M. So it's incorrect to state that UT manages even the PUF. As A&M has permanent board members reflecting its division of the PUF funds, the PUF is mutually managed by UT & A&M. A&M's non-PUF endowment is not managed by UTIMCO. The rest of UT's endowment aside from the PUF is managed by UTIMCO.

My sister, and a few of my friends got into Alabama with some awful test scores. They admitted her last year and her SAT, at the time, was under 1000 for a 3 score. C'mon Bama...
Alabama has strategically positioned itself to be a magnate for out of state kids who want to attend a big, public university with great athletics at an affordable price and without stringent entry requirements. There are many kids from outside the Southeast who choose to go to Alabama because they are not able to get accepted to UNC, UVA, Texas, etc..... but there are also a lot of kids who attend Alabama because they are also unable to get accepted into Florida, Georgia, Clemson, and many other big state schools that are quite honestly superior from an academic standpoint.
Alabama has so far done well at the balancing act of rapid enrollment expansion, coupled with keeping the quality of the average student at an acceptable level. Their success in football has really helped them market themselves well, and its enabled them to grow in this direction.
For Alabama, its probably been a very good thing. They could have kept enrollment lower... around 22,000 or so... and raised entrance requirements considerably. Honestly had they done that approach, they could probably have risen up to the level of UF, UGA, Texas A&M, etc. from an academics standpoint. But they chose rapid enrollment instead. Not saying that is a bad thing, its just their approach.
Alabama took a specific direction, and they've been very successful at their approach. However, lets be honest and admit that Alabama has become the "easiest" big state school in the South with quality athletics for kids to get into.

Ole Miss is far and away the easiest admit in the conference. And, while Alabama does let in some less qualified applicants, it's numbers are still pretty good (and much higher than the past).

So, we aren't Vanderbilt, but we aren't letting anyone and everyone in either. Our admissions on the lower end are pretty well in line with other similar large state schools, and our upper level are above most. It's a balance.

State appropriations now only account for about 15% of UA's operating budget. With the legislature uncommitted to funding higher education, UA had to look elsewhere for support. The influx of OOS students has tremendously helped the balance sheet and they've also helped raise the academic profile and diversity at UA. The average freshman class scores have improved every year since the expansion started. I'm pretty pleased with the direction UA is heading, to be honest.
