I believe the number of Living Alumni at ACC schools is relatively low with respect to those of other P5 conferences.
How many Living Alumni does your school have?
I believe Louisville has about 141,000 Living Alumni.
Syracuse has 258,000 living alumni. Thats pretty large for a private school. But Syracuse is a very large private school with just under 23,000 students.
I just called up Alumni relations at VT and they said there are about 255,000 living VT alumni.
ACC schools have 45% of the living alums compared to the B10.
Carolina has 335,00 living alumni(includes UG, Graduate and Post Graduate programs).
Notre Dame has approximately 130,000 living alumni.

That's good data.
Wonder how the SEC compares to the ACC?
So far:
Florida State 360,000
North Carolina 335,000
Syracuse 258,000
Virginia Tech 255,000
Duke 172,000
Louisville 141,000
Notre Dame 130,000
Others?

State = 156,000
UNC = 335,000
UVA = 230,000
How the heck does UNC, an academically selective school with a small enrollment, have more than twice as many alumni as State? It seems top me UNC should be above UVA, and State should be close to College Park which has 352,000 alumni.

That's wrong.
State has 257K alums. 160K alums live in NC, that's where the faulty number comes from
Never use wiki for NC State info.
https://www.ncsu.edu/about/rankings/
State does an amazingly piss poor job of promoting itself and for decades has taken the posture that everyone just knows where their food, clothing, housing, streets, water, etc., etc., come from and appreciates the source of the expertise.
The truth is that the real public interface is with graduates in the following professional schools - Medical, Dental, Veterinary, Nursing, Law, Public Health, etc., etc.
That's one of the reasons why VT pursued the Carrilion Medical School initiative 15 years ago. People remember the medical doctor that helped them and the lawyer that saved their ass. They have no idea who saved a sweet potato crop, built a better reactor, developed a synthetic material, or a built better egg carton.
The average Big 10 school has about 450K living alums.
In the SEC Georgia has 327K and Tennessee 387K. TAMU has about 515K. Vandy has about 140K.
The ACC averages about 230K living alums per school @3.2 million total
The SEC averages about 300K living alums per school @4.2 million total
The B10 like I said is over $450K per school @ 6.3 million total
Put another way the ACC has 76% of the alums of the SEC, and just 51% of the alums of the B10.

The alumni numbers include graduate, post graduate and professional school graduates.
Currently there are about 18,000 UG students at Carolina. There are also about 18,000 students enrolled on graduate, post graduate and professional schools.

It did seem odd, so I looked at the Wikipedia source -- it was from 2008!
I checked on your source -- it actually says "NC State has more than 250,000 living alumni" (not sure where you get 257,000 -- but it's certainly plausible).

Why the aster on UNC?
Graduates are graduates otherwise you would be double counting them. Carolina does not double count graduates that graduate again.
As to State's 257, the numbers on State's own page are running a year behind and Winter graduation gets more substantial year over year.
I am an alum of State and UNC. Just in my immediate, personal family Wake Forest, VT, UNC, Duke, and NC State try to put their hand in my pocket nearly every week.
For the most part in NC your fan affiliation is set before you go to college. So if you start a NC State and end up with degrees from State, Carolina, and Duke, you are likely still a State fan.
A turncoat is usually not respected and will become the center of admonishment, especially if someone born a WF fan is turned. I know a woman born a WF fan but who received her MA from UNC and PhD from Vandy who was excoriated by two old women when she attended a basketball game in the Smith Center and let it be know that she was ONCE a Demon Deacon and now pulled for UNC.
They said they were glad to have her, but how could she forsake WF?
Young people today probably have no concept.

Well they can't seem to count fans at a football stadium, so what makes me think they can count graduates who may or may not still be alive?
