This is a sequel to
this thread.
This list wasn't very satisfying because they are all so obvious. I could have come up with 75 more that need expansion, but aren't in the top 25. For this list I limited myself to 25 schools, and I tried to focus on fall recruitments only (a new list can happen in spring). Of course there is one exception, but that makes the rule, I guess. Obviously there might be compelling reasons that expansion will not happen at the schools listed (I'm looking at you, Texas and Arizona). This list just means the numbers alone seem to strongly support a need.
Any school that is open or has colonization planned/occurring was not considered.

I have about 20 honorable mentions. Mostly schools where quota isn't crazy high, but the number of NPCs is too low. (For example, CSU East Bay where quota was 48 and they have 2 NPCs.)
Thanks you Texas A&M for opening up and Texas State for forming an exploratory committee - that saved 2 spaces on the list!
