Utsa Football - Hunting Coaching Candidates

[NT80]

From the THECB Student Housing report that is hot off the press (10/22/2008), for Fall 2007.

UTSA had 3,100 on-campus student beds. Not too bad, I would say. Almost all of this would have been added in the last few years. They are a lot less "commuter" than many might believe. That is still about half of what UNT has, but I'd have to give UTSA high marks for their trajectory. I'm sure they'll add more.

An interesting one was UTEP: 428 beds. Really low, esp. for one of the state's larger universities. That is what I would call commuter (but, that's not evil). I guess they draw strictly from their own immediate area, and a lot of those students come from low income backgrounds.

Good find. That is more than I thought for UTSA and much less than what I would have guessed about UTEP. Another falsehood about football attendance is that colleges must have large enrollments and reside in large population areas. I just saw the article about Troy only having 6000 students in the town of Troy, population only 14,000 and an hour away from a large city, yet they average over 20K per home game.
