Who cares about a 15000 (7656 undergrad, 6677 graduate ) student body (13225 staff too!!) Division I university with a graduate and medical school with swimming in Division III. Wake up Swimming World, they broke their own 2010 record of 1:31.80, not some other small school Division III record!! Most Division III programs are far less than 7000 student body and 100 swimmers on a “no athletic scholarships” program, Wake up NCAA too!!
