You are right, though, winning cures all and is the only thing that matters for attendance given a long enough period of success. Losing can take it away much more quickly, though. Check out pictures of TCU's stadium last year...

What happened to your enrollment? You guys have always had larger enrollment than us. You had 10,893 in 2012. Maybe that included post grad studies. However, our total enrollment is approx 9,500 with approx 1K post grad. Is your undergrad versus post grad pop seriously 55/45 ish? Or has enrollment declined that much?

We do have a large number of grad students. We have a law school, a seminary and MBA programs plus the usual Fine Arts, Liberal Arts, Sciences, Engineering grad student numbers.

Last year's data.

Total Fall 2013 Enrollment - 10,929

Undergraduate students - 6,357
Graduate students - 4,572
Total new first-year undergraduate students - 1,431
SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.
