btw the UH Stadium vote passed. Good for them. Good for us. Good for the BE. A rising tide and quality, national perception of teams and opponents separates the entire BE from the have-nots.

Just curious, if a vote like this was ever put before the SMU student body would any of them even take the time to vote?

They'd have to fight through picketing Spanish professors and Daily Campus editors to get there.

Didn't realize that they are up around 35,000 students.

Houston is a commuter school. They have a large number of students who are "taking classes" there that are not full-time students. Quite a few of them are transfers from other universities/community colleges. In addition to a high number of drop outs, many of their students will end up finishing their degrees at other schools. 26% of their students transfer to other schools and only 41% graduate from there. UT's graduation rate is 81%.

As a result, their alumni base would probably be 1/3 to 1/2 the size of a 35,000 student "normal" 4 year university.

Check out this story on graduation rates: http://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas ... 711255.php
