A&M is not just cramming students in. They are building facilities and hiring teachers to handle the growth. There were 17 construction projects going on at A&M last year to handle the growth.
In time, that equates to a ton more alumni donating back to the school and supporting athletics - hence the need for 102,000 seats at Kyle Field.

It is also state law to accept anyone in the top 10% in their grduating class in Texas. So even if we wanted lower numbers, we couldn't get there. That is why it is super competitive(relative term) for anyone out of state or not in the top 10%.

quote:Same at UA ~ I'd venture to guess that the construction/expansion projects in the last 10 years at UA is in up into the billion$. Incoming freshmen are required to live on campus, resulting in massive on-campus housing growth. UA is in the midst of a construction boom that doesn't appear to be slowing down.

When over 50% of the student population is from OOS, that equates to alumni from all over the country giving back to the school in a big way.
