Or, how JMU & ODU could be the "#2 and #3 largest football playing programs" in the state of Virginia. They're bigger than either UVa or VaTech? I don't think so. lol

Enrollment size folks not attendance and if you don't believe me, here's my proof from http://ope.ed.gov/athletics/InstList.aspx
Listing of undergrad enrollment for all VA public universities

Institution City State Undergraduate Enrollment
The University of Virginia's College at Wise Wise VA 1,550
Virginia Military Institute Lexington VA 1,569
University of Mary Washington Fredericksburg VA 3,812
Longwood University Farmville VA 3,853
Christopher Newport University Newport News VA 4,634
Virginia State University Petersburg VA 4,732
Norfolk State University Norfolk VA 4,977
College of William and Mary Williamsburg VA 5,835
Radford University Radford VA 7,614
University of Virginia-Main Campus Charlottesville VA 13,826
Old Dominion University Norfolk VA 14,345
George Mason University Fairfax VA 15,644
James Madison University Harrisonburg VA 16,803
Virginia Commonwealth University Richmond VA 19,219
Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Blacksburg VA 23,184

VCU is larger than either but doesn't play football making JMU #2, George Mason is larger than ODU but doesn't play football therefore ODU is #3. Both have enrollments larger than UVA.
