Arkansas has almost doubled its enrollment in the last decade.
They became so obsessed with getting to 30,000 that half of new freshman are from Texas. Clearly they’ll just accept anybody.

UK is doing the same thing. I enrolled as a Masters student in '94 and it was a little under 20K. Now it's 36K, and most of that growth is in the last 5-10 years.
The new model in higher ed at state schools where the state legislature barely sends the institution enough money to get their name on the building is to get big.
It's the "Walmart" model.
In fairness, Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State & A&M did this long ago and managed to maintain their academic reputations in the circles that matter (not on tRant where most participants can't operate a 4-function calculator). So it's a model that can work, but not always.
