[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 476103, member: 2426"] OK. I would also suspect that some of that is from the recent push(in many schools) of executive MBAs. For the post that I was originally responding to, those Master's CS degree students and executive MBA students are providing a lot of tuition money to the school. I suspect that football has very little to do with it. Also, I don't know where to find information on what percentage of Clemson's enrollment gains are from part time or remote students to make an apples to apples comparison. That still does not prove that Clemson's recent football success has been the cause of an increase in enrollment and educational facilities. People who believe that football is the cause of such things like to point at schools such as Alabama and Clemson. They have had football success, so that must be the cause. It is easy to prove the lack or correlation. MANY schools that do not have national championship caliber football teams have expanded enrollment and facilities. GT, which was landlocked, now owns a very large part of very expensive Midtown Atlanta. In the last 20 years, GT has put many buildings on the East side of the connector and will be putting up more in the next few years. People who believe the "common knowledge" about football leading to great academic improvements at schools simply ignore the fact that University enrollment has been trending upward almost everywhere. Not solely at schools with championship level football programs. [/QUOTE]
