You've got a lot of growing & willing to spend state schools in the WAC and some well funded private schools. The McNeese and Friends conference simply doesn't have that. Just entirely different dynamics.
Grand Canyon has 25,000 students on campus but another 90,000 who take classes online. That's a lot of revenue. There are a lot of rich Christian schools in the WAC (GCU, CBU, Seattle, ACU, UIW). And a few large State colleges (UVU, UTRGV, UTA). Most of the schools in the WAC are growing whereas most of the SLC schools have been stagnant for years.
I was just looking at the Texas State University System (Lamar and Sam Houston State's system) February Board Meeting Minutes. The enrollment stories looked positive for both.
For Lamar:
Fall 2021 enrollment: High - 17,170. Final official - 16,161.
6.6% increase from 2019.
1st time college freshmen - 5% increase from 2020. Increase of 24% since Fall, 2019.
Spring, 2022 preliminary enrollment shows a 20% increase (300 students) over 2020.

RETENTION & RECRUITMENT
Lamar University has a number of strategic initiatives underway to address recruitment and retention. Total enrollment numbers for Fall 2021 (all parts of term) reached 17,170 students, a 6.6% increase over Fall 2019. Looking at the 3-year trend, new first-time in college freshman enrollment has continued to increase. Fall 2021 vs 2020 increased by 5%, reaching a total of 1,538, a net of 71 students and increased 24% since Fall 2019. In addition, despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, the yield on new first time in college freshman admitted to enrolled increased by 4%. Preliminary date-to-date enrollment reports for Spring 2022 show an increase of approximately 300 students, or +20%, over Spring 2020...
