You’re looking at it through 2010 eyes. If you go back 120 years and the best colleges ARE the biggest colleges, being big has a different connotation. Plus, they are the ones big enough to have numerous specialties and do research in a multitude of fields.

Also, say what you want about ASU, at least everybody has heard of it (as opposed to Caltech, Williams, etc.)
