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.
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.
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.

It's just what flagship universities with the state's resources behind us can do. Auburn et al. wouldn't understand.

A $1,000 check from St Louis cashes the exact same as a $1,000 check from Mobile.
Your OOS numbers are ridiculous for a flagship university. What happens when the bubble bursts and UA stops giving all this money away to OOS students? It's not going to be pretty

Some pretty smart people see big changes coming in higher education itself and also how it is paid for. Some of these rapidly expanding universities could end up on the wrong side of history very soon.
