Second smallest FBS school

[Realtorfrog]

I knew we were a small school but didn’t realize only Wake Forest was smaller. Makes our success in sports even more impressive.

 

[Smooth42]

yeah. tied with Notre Dame

 

[NavyFrog]

Isn't Rice smaller than us too?

The reference was to Power 5 teams, I believe. But Rice is smaller.

Interesting, Stanford has the second smallest in undergraduates but their graduate population is actually larger than their undergraduate.

undergrad - 7062
postgrad - 9386

When announcer said it im pretty sure he said FBS though

 

[BABYFACE]

yeah. tied with Notre Dame

I maybe wrong, but I bet the media never brings up ND’s enrollment size.

 

[LeagueCityFrog]

I think he meant second smallest in Power 5. Wake smallest, TCU next. Who is just bigger than TCU in the Power Five? Notre Dame?

P5 Schools with similar Undergraduate Enrollment:

Baylor - 14,189
Miami - 10,832
Boston College - 9,358
TCU - 8,892
Northwestern - 8,353
Stanford - 7,062
Vandy - 6,885
Duke - 6,449
Wake - 4,955

Most of these schools have larger graduate programs, but most people attach their fandom to their undergraduate alma mater. TCU definitely is similar in size to some of these schools, but most of these schools are some of the most elite universities in the country.

100% correct.

Size doesn't matter

 

[froghair]

Size is advantageous for hiding less academically accomplished players in the student population.

Size doesn't matter

 

[Tumbleweed]

We continually talk or write about our size and how small we are. The media picks up on that and then they make it an issue.Wonder if Miami, ND, Wake Forest mention how small they are? You don't hear repeated remarks from the media about their size. Ever hear Gary mention we are a small school. Seldom if any.

Uh...

Found this quiz that’s pretty hard to fill out. It includes all FBS schools (although it includes the Big Sky conference for some reason) and only accounts for undergraduate enrollment.

That was cool. I got 50% but I quit with a minute left because I couldn’t think of anyone. And scheiss the Big Sky.

Lets not forget the service academies, each of which have 4,000 students.

What is the ranking of enrollment of these handful of schools when you add in graduate school size?

Idaho is the Big Sky one. They were FBS until this season. Moved down to FCS. Someone updated the conference but didn't remove them from the quiz altogether.
