Most of you recall I have stated UofL is the smallest public university in P5. Well I was wrong. We are the 3rd smallest. Only Ole Miss and K-State are smaller.
I used univstat's most recent student body enrollments.
For real clarity, I organized the schools by how they WILL BE aligned by conference starting next Summer. Remember, I do not show Private universities (Notre Dame, Miami, BC, Syracuse, Duke, TCU, SMU, Baylor, Northwestern, Southern Cal, Vanderbilt, Wake Forest or any other private university. Just PUBLIC universities. And just those in the P5 next season. There may be only 4 "P5's" next season. The rump Pac-12 (with only 2 members) will be discussed by the NCAA and the other A5 (or A4) members.
Without further adieu:
