It's across the state in Florida too--it's not just UF and FSU which are bulging at the seams, but schools that are less known as football powerhouses or who don't have football teams at all.

Nope, no automatic merit scholarships - and because of the UT/A&M auto-admit program for top 10% (or 8 - they may have changed it) of public school grads more and more quality students are going OUT of state. You would not believe the number of Katy senior women going to Auburn, Bama, LSU and OK schools - if you look at the Katy Panhellenic records you can pinpoint when the 10% rule came into effect because of the jump in out of state students.
