Virtual enrollment and pandemic putting a damper on in-person attendance, I’d guess.
Tech's enrollment peaked Fall 2017 and has dropped every year since.

When Guice started, enrollment for Fall 2013 was 11,014 and we were leaving the WAC because it was dead. We are essentially back where we started. Zero progress.
Wow, according to those stats, Tech had an enrollment of 12,873 in the fall of 2017. Now our enrollment has fallen all the way to 11,197 (last year).
This just shouldn't happen, people. This is bad management. Mismanagement. Meanwhile, other schools --including NSU-- are still growing.
I give up.
pretty sure we count “continuing education”. bunch of old farts (I am eligible) floating in the pool, calling it swimming, and getting Tech ID’s for the effort. I suspect there has been a pandemic effect on those numbers…
This is the point I was trying to make in the time to move forward thread.. We have failed on many fronts in terms of the University over the last few decades.. No top 10 academic programs, LOWER student enrollment where others are gaining, Athletics are not progressing, etc. With all of the construction and new apartments/dorms and buildings on campus you would think people would be beating the doors down to enroll, especially given the cheaper costs.. but they aren't. That goes to leadership.
On my phone but the MAC is reportedly looking at adding MTSU and Western Kentucky.
Wouldn't that just be dandy!
THIS!!
The MAC is at 12 and NONE of those schools will ever be invited to join another conference. If the MAC had 3 or 4 schools likely to jump elsewhere, then yes, I could see them being proactive and going to 14. But that ain't happening, and WKU and MTSU will always be sitting there for any future invites, should it ever become necessary.
We need those two to stay in CUSA at this time, so we can add three+ schools and just survive this shake-up. The next round of major conference realignment(s) won't happen for probably about 10 years at least. If CUSA can survive this...and please fire that bimbo, Judy...then we'll be fine for a period of time.
The train has left the station and I'm afraid Louisiana Tech is watching it roll away. It's unfathomable that we are in this position, but we are. Louisiana Tech is not mentioned in ANY discussions about conference realignments. ANY. NONE. It's like we don't exist. This does not bode well for our future. We're the beggar with the hat hoping someone will throw us a crumb. Where's our lifeline? How the hell do we come out of this with any respectability? If any conference respected Louisiana Tech we would have at least been mentioned. Nothing. Nada. Zip. Independence is not an option today like it was before. CUSA? Ha! What a joke. And then there is Skip...
If WKU and MTSU join the MAC (and why wouldn’t they) then C-USA is toast.
We go back to being an Independent in football but where do our other sports end up?
WAC
Here's the new CUSA: (endowment in millions, enrollments in thousands)
NMSU (236, 22)
UTEP (241, 25)
SHSU (117, 22)
Lamar (129, 17)
SFA (82, 12)
McNeese (87, 8)
LATech (107, 12)
FIU (129, 17)
If FIU wants to quit, then ACU (530, 5) becomes the 8th full member.
Bring in UALR and UNO as non-football members.
No to Tarleton and Jacksonville State.
I'd rather have this new CUSA than the Sunbelt.
Sure it would be great to pick up Missouri State or NDSU, but I'd be shocked if they were interested.
Only 7 conference football games. OOC schedule Rice, UNT, San Antonio, and USM - 2 at home and 2 away each year. For the last 3 games schedule 2 money games and a SWAC.
