* Big Ten School
 
Looks fairly obvious which schools are smaller.  There are quite a few
that do not compare in size to the Big Ten schools.  The five Big Ten
schools comprise 35% of the total enrollment of the 51 schools.
 
FYI:
 
Average enrollment size:  11,732
Mean enrollment size:         7,500
