In the South Region, UCA is ranked #66 behind Harding and A-State.

Enrollment listed as 9,604? That's a BIG drop, isn't it?

I scrolled down on one of the pages and it said total enrollment was 11,107. I founded it interesting that out of the top 10 for our region only two public universities made the list.

They DO matter to people researching where to spend their hard earned money on an education. Thinking otherwise is simply living in denial.

Which two teams can play for a championship. No credibility
Whatsoever.
