And I have taken some flax from some of my "friends" in Springfield, MO about these #'s not being correct.
Dave Reynolds of the Peoria Journal Star is reporting the exact same #'s as mine:

Leading the way is Wichita State, with 1,688 followed by Creighton at 950. Then it drops to Northern Iowa at 583, Illinois State at 575, Missouri State at 500, Southern Illinois at 333, BU at 275, Indiana State at 145, Evansville at 120 and Drake at 100.
