How Did Division I-A College Football Cities Vote in 2016?

[NOVA Green]

So decided to take a peak and see what if anything is the matter with Kansas....

Big 12 Conference:


Kansas State University---- Manhattan, Kansas

8,068 HRC (47.8% D), 7,103 Trump (42.1% R)                           + 5.7% D

University of Kansas- Lawrence, Kansas

26,342 HRC (68.6% D), 8,832 Trump (23.0% R)                         + 55.6% D

 

[NOVA Green]

Big Ten East----

University of Indiana-

Bloomington: 9,699 HRC (70.1%),   3,221 Trump (23.3%)         + 46.8% D

[NOVA Green]

Big Ten West:

University of Iowa

Iowa City: 26,476 HRC (72.6%), 7.332 Trump (20.1%)            +52.5% D

[NOVA Green]

Big 12:

Iowa State University:

18,956 HRC ( 57.3%), 10,352 Trump (31.3%)                     + 26.0% D

[NOVA Green]

Sun Belt Conference:

Arkansas State University....

Jonesboro, Arkansas:

8,396 HRC (33.9%), Trump 14,823 (59.8% R)                                    + 25.7% R

Very interesting.... not sure if anyone has insights onto Jonesboro and Arkansas State University, but it does seem a bit odd that it voted much more heavily Republican, than even "Whiter" College Cities in the Cotton Belt and Appalachia....

A possibility (that may be impossible to confirm) would be that Arkansas St. had a higher percentage of the vote coming from undergraduate students compared to professors and academics (including grad students).  It is possible that groups on campus made more of an effort to get students to vote at their campus address (rather than their parents' house) than at some other universities.  It wouldn't surprise me if the undergrads at somewhere like Arkansas St. voted 60-75% Trump (depending on the racial demographics of the student body, which I'm not sure of), which offset the professors and academics in town.  Unfortunately, other than seeing how many votes were cast in the campus precinct (which can be very low and reflective of student bodies as a whole if a group of one party encourages it and the other doesn't, for example) or popular off-campus residence areas for students, it's impossible to confirm or deny this theory.

SEC WEST-

Auburn University--- Auburn AL

12,914 HRC (39.8% D), 17,189 Trump (52.9% R)          (+13.1% R)

Honestly a bit better for HRC than I had expected, considering that it wasn't until 2001 when where there was a first African-American admitted into a White sorority, and 1964 where the first African-American was admitted into the University...

http://blog.al.com/wire/2013/06/i_just_happened_to_be_one_of_t.html

Meanwhile down in Tuscaloosa (University of Alabama--- roll tides...   ) we see forward movement going a few years earlier, when Autherine Juanita Lucy rolls into town ....

http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/university-of-alabama-desegregated

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autherine_Lucy

Overall Lee County was (35.9% D- 58.5% R)....  so Auburn definitely voted significantly to the "Left" of the County overall....

Additionally, if we pull up the numbers from the twin City of Opelika, which is a bit more working-class and quite a bit Blacker, when it comes to the population of brothers and sisters compared to Auburn propers these are the results....

4,710 HRC (47.7 % D), 4,793 Trump (48.5%) we start to see how extensively rural Lee County went towards Trump....

Go into rural towns like Beulah, the results are extraordinary, which I suspect is not unusual in the region, especially in modern times....  we see about 2.5k votes that went 9.9% HRC and 87.8% Trump for a + 2.0k margin!
 
Anyways.... we are starting to see some various compare/contrasts among major College Football communities within the US, so first step is collecting the data, and filter through....

It does appear that "Land Grant/Ag" schools tended to be a bit more Republican in '16 regardless of regional variation, but my preference is to grab the numbers first, before making tons of assumptions.

Big 12 Conference: 0/10 Completed

Oklahoma- Norman
TCU- Fort Worth----    Initial precinct results indicate that HRC won, but not confirmed....
West Virginia- Morgantown
Texas Tech- Lubbock
Iowa State- Ames
Kansas State- Manhatten
Texas- Austin
Oklahoma State- Stillwater
Kansas- Lawrence
Baylor- Waco 

Fort Worth:

Clinton - 121,042 (50.52%)
Trump - 105,756 (44.14%)

Awesome work running the final numbers on Fort Worth, considering that the initial number I pulled on the other thread indicated that it voted Clinton by decent margins, but rolling the numbers up in the neighboring counties within City Limits Split-Precincts and all, is a definitive labor intensive exercise....

Fmr. President Griffin on the other thread did a similar project on OKC, and interestingly enough there is a similar phenomenon....

I ran some numbers on another thread looking up Upper-Middle-Class precincts in NorthTex, and the Western Great Plains, and a similar compare/contrast result was observed in Omaha, Nebraska, and Exurban KC, KS....

This is totally OT, but it does appear that in many parts of the Great Plains, HRC did not perform especially well, *even in areas where in theory she might have been a decent demographic fit, considering the relatively high socio-economic and educational level, compared to many other parts of US.

This topic likely deserves its own thread, but would definitely appreciate you running some numbers on this one, since not only is it right up your alley, but you can def crunch numbers quickly, to help us move to the next stage after we collectively crunch the data, where we can collectively objectively discuss and analyze the data....

[NOVA Green]

Sun Belt Conference:

Arkansas State University....

Jonesboro, Arkansas:

8,396 HRC (33.9%), Trump 14,823 (59.8% R)                                    + 25.7% R

Very interesting.... not sure if anyone has insights onto Jonesboro and Arkansas State University, but it does seem a bit odd that it voted much more heavily Republican, than even "Whiter" College Cities in the Cotton Belt and Appalachia....

A possibility (that may be impossible to confirm) would be that Arkansas St. had a higher percentage of the vote coming from undergraduate students compared to professors and academics (including grad students).  It is possible that groups on campus made more of an effort to get students to vote at their campus address (rather than their parents' house) than at some other universities.  It wouldn't surprise me if the undergrads at somewhere like Arkansas St. voted 60-75% Trump (depending on the racial demographics of the student body, which I'm not sure of), which offset the professors and academics in town.  Unfortunately, other than seeing how many votes were cast in the campus precinct (which can be very low and reflective of student bodies as a whole if a group of one party encourages it and the other doesn't, for example) or popular off-campus residence areas for students, it's impossible to confirm or deny this theory.

There are a ton of good hypotheses there in your post, and obviously at this point, we're not quite at a point to look at precinct level data, at the next "drill-down" level of the spreadsheet.

There are a few other things that I'm thinking about as well, that potentially involve variances regarding Land Grant Universities vs Non and the types of educational programs that these "Non-Profit" universities focus on as part of marketing and selling their services to the customers (Students and Companies), to generate capitol for their academic research projects....

Also, although I haven't really gone into it too much, the % of population directly tied to the College and Universities in these towns varies immensely....

Jonesboro for example, also has an extremely active manufacturing sector, and as a decent sized community, the college kids are only one element, so maybe the "townie/gownie" mix runs a bit differently than some other College Towns?

To your point regarding the undergrad population, it should be publicly accessible data to at least pull numbers from "In-State vs Out-State students".

So if total student body Pop is xx,xxx and x,xxx are in-state, that provides a much better idea of the relative size of the student vote as part of the county level results, although obviously precinct level data might provide us with a more informed opinion...

I've seen variances like this before where there might be a "College Town", but there are tons of Grad Students studying from overseas (Not eligible to vote in the US), tons of undergrads from various other Western States, that are eligible to vote via mail at their parent's addresses back home.....

Still, despite your potential skepticism, it still is possible to obtain some levels of compare/contrast, despite the variances in individual statewide voting laws and differences in regional/campus/communities profiles..... (Fingers crossed...

[100% pro-life no matter what]

Nashville can be counted in a couple different ways.  Officially, the city government and Davidson County are co-terminous.  However, there are a couple semi-independent municipalities that vote for the Nashville city government and their own government.  These tend to be quite Republican, so there is no doubt that Hillary won Nashville, but it is a question of whether or not we want to include them.  If we do (since they do vote for the mayor and city government), then we can just take Davidson County's result for Nashville.

A bit of a tangent, but the only states where the flagship university was in a city/town that possibly voted for Trump were:

ND - U of North Dakota - Grand Forks
AK - U of Alaska-Fairbanks - Fairbanks
OK - Oklahoma U - Norman
AR - U of Arkansas - Fayetteville
MS - U of Mississippi AKA Ole Miss - Oxford
AL - U of Alabama - Tuscaloosa
WV - West Virginia U - Morgantown

Your guess was a bit off with the University of Arkansas....

I wasn't claiming Arkansas (and the others) were in towns that voted for Trump, just that the above list was of universities that had a possibility of that. It would be good to have the results of U of North Dakota (Grand Forks) and U of Alaska-Fairbanks (Fairbanks) to test my list even if it's not exactly the subject of this thread.

No sorry... since apologies if you took my comment that way, was not my intent.... will see what numbers I can pull for Grand Forks and Fairbanks....

Def wasn't trying to be a jerk about anything...

Now, nothing wrong with a little bit of tangent in our Atlas Family Tree (That never happens around here , especially when it increases debate/discussion and additional areas of exploration.

To re-quote your original post....

A bit of a tangent, but the only states where the flagship university was in a city/town that possibly voted for Trump were:

WV - West Virginia U - Morgantown

So here's where your question raised some questions for me (Bolded), is the definition of "what is a flagship university"...

Like many others, I have always been a bit confused about what exactly qualifies in order to create a comprehensive list, although granted for many states,this is easily definable based upon the following standards...

"Gary Olson at The Chronicle of Higher Education offers the following definition:

'While the criteria used to determine flagship status will vary from state to state, typically a state’s flagship is its land-grant institution. It is likely to be the university with the highest research profile and the most doctoral programs. It may house the state’s medical school, law school, or both. And it may be the largest and best endowed university in the state. Membership in the prestigious Association of American Universities may be yet another factor, and NCAA Division I athletics is a must.' "

http://www.diycollegerankings.com/what-is-a-flagship-university/19598/

If one were to google the topic, there are a ton of different opinions, but here'a a slightly different and looser definition that includes everything from popularity, national name recognition, and even google searches into the equation!

https://www.collegeraptor.com/find-colleges/articles/questions-answers/what-is-a-flagship-university/

I think this would be the standard list that most individuals use, but I still have a few problems with the CW considering that one could make a serious argument that Oregon State University fits equally into the profile as the University of Oregon, based upon the Chronicle of Higher Education definition (But I digress...)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Flagship_universities_in_the_United_States

So perhaps as an addendum, if someone could helpfully post a list of the Flagship Universities by State, using the collegeraptor.com / wiki list, let's throw those into the mix as well, since there are some schools that have Division I-A sports teams that aren't football based....

Plus gives us more college cities/towns to look at for local election returns.... always fun.

[NOVA Green]

Sun Belt Conference:

Troy University:

Troy Alabama (Pike County)

2,824 HRC (42.0% D), 2,611 Trump (53.7% R)      + 13.7% R

*** Note these numbers are probably a bit high for Trump, considering there are multiple split precincts here, and Precinct # 13 (Troy Rec Center) where 1,677 people voted for Pres was 70% Trump, and much of the precinct lies outside of City limits. Still it's probably the best # we can get w/o some really convoluted carving out precincts by population inside and outside of City Limits and trying to model how the "rural" parts of the precincts would have voted based on neighboring areas...

[NOVA Green]

Mountain West- East

Colorado State University-

Fort Collins, Colorado:

53,143 HRC (56.3% D), 29,256 Trump (31.0%)                  +25.3% D

Note that both candidates percentages are actually slightly higher, since the subtotal of total votes that I used included not only 3rd Party Candidates, but also Under/Over votes as well....

[NOVA Green]

PAC 12 South:

University of Colorado:

Boulder, Colorado (City)

56,156 HRC (82.3% D), 7.602 Trump (11.1%)                     + 71.2% D

Ok--- obviously I knew that Boulder was a Liberal Democratic stronghold, but these numbers are still pretty astounding, with less 3rd Party defection than I had anticipated.

[NOVA Green]

Big 12:

West Virginia University:

Morgantown, West Virginia:

4,580 HRC (55.4% D), 2,767 Trump (33.5 % R)                      +21.9% D

So this is really interesting... for a City of some 31k there were only 8.3k total votes, which seems incredibly low, even for a University town where students are less likely to turn out to vote, many vote absentee in other counties within their home-state, etc....

Also, I was a bit surprised by the size of the Clinton margin here, considering WVU pulls heavily from a student population with strong local ties to the Steel & Coal belt areas that swung heavily towards Trump in '16.... Would be interesting to run comparative numbers for '12/'16 to look at the 'Pub and 'Dem baseline numbers respectively to see how Morgantown is trending....

Actually, that jives pretty well with my theory that only a tiny percentage of the votes in college towns come from traditional students and that a lot more come from professors, administrators, and maybe some bohemians.  I think it would be a safe assumption that most WVU students voted for Trump, (a few probably did vote in Morgantown, but most probably didn't), but they don't make up the majority of the city's electorate.  The only places that we have seen vote for Trump by double-digits are in the Deep South or Mormon states, where (given racial and religious polarization in these places), it might make sense that even the professors/administrators wouldn't be as liberal.

Big 12 Conference:

University of Oklahoma:

Norman, Oklahoma (Cleveland, County)

21,163 HRC (46.4% D), 20,758 Trump (45.5% R)       + 0.9% R

There were a few split precincts in the Northeastern part of the City that I included, based upon what appeared to be a clear majority of voters falling within Norman municipal boundaries, and one I excluded, since it appeared that a clear majority of voters fell outside of municipal boundaries....

It appears to be a wash regardless, and if anything I was conservative and included borderline precincts in the more heavily Trump parts of the City (Eastern Norman) for example precinct # 36 with 1,145 total votes that went (76-19 Trump), although I did exclude precinct # 63 with 704 total votes (68-25 Trump)...

Honestly I was a bit surprised to see Norman vote narrowly for HRC, and again would be an interesting City to look at compared to the '12/'16 GE results, since there were significant differences in the electoral coalitions of the two respective major party candidates...

On other threads doing precinct level work in Upper-Income precincts in OKC, Tulsa, and DFW for example, we observed +15-20 % swings towards HRC compared to '12.... I wonder if the Millennial  sons and daughters attending a prestigious flagship state university swung towards HRC?

OT: Always been a big Sooners fan, since the early '90s when a friend of mine from Oklahoma gave me his ball cap, even though I wasn't that big a college ball fan at the time, and this is the first time I've run the precinct numbers on the City, so it threw my entire CW and assumptions (You know what they say about those....  ) out the window, and really makes we want to explore the subject of where the student base in some of these colleges and universities come from, to see if there are potentially direct correlations between swings that we have observed in certain traditionally heavily Republican upper- Middle Class precincts in various parts of the country, and "elite universities"....

(Bolded) I don't think that would be a safe assumption at all tbh...

Take a look at Precinct #10 in Monongalia County for example, which is directly located right next to campus.... 741 total Pres votes (57- 28 D).... precinct # 16 right next to campus 543 total votes (58- 29 D)....

We could also pull up Precinct #2 which essentially was 2:1 HRC, home to a large number of college students...

Generally in my personal experience, University Professors don't like to live in overwhelmingly student precincts since the inevitable parties and noise distracts them from their research projects, and obviously in a relatively inexpensive city to live in like Morgantown, their salary can afford better housing, with still only a 15 minute commute to work....

Additionally, the further one moves away from the WVU campus, the greater increases for the Republican vote share within the City, as well as cities/communities in "Metro Morgantown"....

Now, aside from the objective data from Morgantown, which is but one blip of a data point, here's the part of your theory that I believe to be generally fairly accurate:

"my theory that only a tiny percentage of the votes in college towns come from traditional students and that a lot more come from professors, administrators, and maybe some bohemians."

When I was going to college in Ohio in the early '90s, I didn't vote in Ohio. I voted via absentee ballot as a college student for elections in Oregon, since although I had a choice of which state I could register to vote in, I was much more interested in elections back home than elections in Ohio...   

This is not unusual for out-of-state students, and this pattern exists to the present day.

Even WVU undergrad students who grew up and have lived in West Virginia most of their lives, many still vote absentee ballots in other parts of the State....

Now, where college students are most likely to register to vote within the home county of their academic community, would be Grad students. After all, the most exploited of all of academia  slaving away in the "knowledge farms and factories" of America, to basically teach the 100/200 level classes for the professors, in order to gain a slight break on their student loan debt, in the hopes that one day they might be able to get hired on and eventually tenured, have greater roots in the community than undergrads.

Now, flip side to the coin, the vast array of workers are either direct hires or contract workers that do everything from the cube farms of the Universities (Registry, Financial Aid, Admins to dpts) to the maintenance, food service, custodial, and landscaping employees....

So, basically I agree with certain parts of your theory regarding the % of students that actually vote within their municipality, disagree with the concept that Administrators and Professors account for the bulk of the Democratic vote within these communities, and really the giant question mark are the huge number of workers in office and facility support jobs to keep a major University campus running....

In certain parts of the "Deep South" in University towns and cities, it appears that the workers that support the University tend to be much more heavily African-American, while the student population tends to be much more Anglo.... (Thinking of you Auburn, Alabama). In other cases, such as Morgantown, it appears that the "worker bees" tend to be heavily White and skew a bit Republican...

I confess as an individual who grew up in a City dominated by the University, the whole townie/gownie thang was real.... Back in the '80s student campus precincts were the most Republican parts of the City, other than the wealthy upper-income giant houses in the hills North of town...

This is an interesting subject that you raised, essentially the question of what is the actual share of the "student vote" in College/University towns vs those working directly/indirectly for these      "Non-Profit", public academic institutions, where the College/University is still one of the biggest employers, and plus if one gets hired on as a state employee, you are protected by the Union, have collective bargaining rights, actual decent employer covered medical insurance, PTO that you can bank and roll over, decent employer contribution to 401ks, and all that great stuff.

Once again, you raised many important questions, since for many of the communities on the list, the "Company" is the "University", for a decent chunk of individuals that live, work, and go to school in these communities....

There three reasons I don't trust campus precincts (it goes both ways- I doubt Trump won the student body at Pitt- despite the fact that he won the campus precinct):

1. Few students vote on campus particularly in places without on-campus polling places- and that small group may not be representative of the student body.  In my experience, the College Dems were the one group pushing their members to register on campus, so the campus precinct may be more Democratic than the student body as a whole.  Pitt may be a reverse example of that, but I kind of suspect that more places have the bias that I observed.

2. Particularly at smaller private colleges, there could be a large number of faculty members who vote on campus and distort the results due to several live-in faculty members.  Vanderbilt may be a good example of this effect.  There were only 135 votes in the campus precinct.  However, that includes some areas just off campus (and in a city, those could be any sorts of people).  Plus, there are ~30 faculty members (including spouses and perhaps more if there are some I don't know about) who live on campus, mostly due to a freshman residential program.  It seems likely that there were significantly under 100 students who actually voted on campus, and probably not even that many undergrads- which gets to my last point.

3. When I think of a student body, I am generally talking about the undergrads.  Undergrads everywhere are going to be significantly less liberal than grad students (not because of any inter-generational divide, but because people who pursue graduate education tend to be more of the academic mindset than simply going to college to improve job prospects, and we all know academia leans overwhelmingly liberal).  Grad students are usually going to live just off campus (which, for some schools, may overlap with certain key precincts to evaluate the student body) and probably vote at the campus address at a much higher propensity than undergrads, as they have been removed from their parents' home for significantly longer and likely have less of a connection to it.

An interesting test of this might be LSU.  They did a mock election in their student center that had no partisan sponsors a few weeks before the election, which Trump won by 15.  I'm not sure if that was just undergrads or grad students too, though.  But, we could try comparing that to LSU's campus precinct.

To re-quote your original post....

A bit of a tangent, but the only states where the flagship university was in a city/town that possibly voted for Trump were:

ND - U of North Dakota - Grand Forks
AK - U of Alaska-Fairbanks - Fairbanks
OK - Oklahoma U - Norman
AR - U of Arkansas - Fayetteville
MS - U of Mississippi AKA Ole Miss - Oxford
AL - U of Alabama - Tuscaloosa
WV - West Virginia U - Morgantown

So here's where your question raised some questions for me (Bolded), is the definition of "what is a flagship university"...

Like many others, I have always been a bit confused about what exactly qualifies in order to create a comprehensive list, although granted for many states,this is easily definable based upon the following standards...

"Gary Olson at The Chronicle of Higher Education offers the following definition:

'While the criteria used to determine flagship status will vary from state to state, typically a state’s flagship is its land-grant institution. It is likely to be the university with the highest research profile and the most doctoral programs. It may house the state’s medical school, law school, or both. And it may be the largest and best endowed university in the state. Membership in the prestigious Association of American Universities may be yet another factor, and NCAA Division I athletics is a must.' "

http://www.diycollegerankings.com/what-is-a-flagship-university/19598/

If one were to google the topic, there are a ton of different opinions, but here'a a slightly different and looser definition that includes everything from popularity, national name recognition, and even google searches into the equation!

https://www.collegeraptor.com/find-colleges/articles/questions-answers/what-is-a-flagship-university/

I think this would be the standard list that most individuals use, but I still have a few problems with the CW considering that one could make a serious argument that Oregon State University fits equally into the profile as the University of Oregon, based upon the Chronicle of Higher Education definition (But I digress...)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Flagship_universities_in_the_United_States

So perhaps as an addendum, if someone could helpfully post a list of the Flagship Universities by State, using the collegeraptor.com / wiki list, let's throw those into the mix as well, since there are some schools that have Division I-A sports teams that aren't football based....

Plus gives us more college cities/towns to look at for local election returns.... always fun.

Good definitions, though in some ways they can be ambiguous (as you said U of Oregon and Oregon State U). A simplistic approach would be to use the University known as University of [State Name] or [State Name] University. This works most of the time (though University of Pennsylvania and New York University are private, and Ohio State is bigger than Ohio U.)

As for my original post, the only answers are likely Miss. (U. of Miss. AKA Ole Miss - Oxford) and possibly:

ND - U of North Dakota - Grand Forks
AK - U of Alaska-Fairbanks - Fairbanks
AL - U of Alabama - Tuscaloosa

Sounds good, and my thought is rather than create an entire new thread on the topic, would be to provide an add on list, using the "traditional definitions" of flagship universities, despite potentially a few disagreements here and there as to what qualifies, especially since it includes Colleges/Universities that meet the basic criteria, that have Division I-A athletic programs that don't have accredited College Football programs, but other than that are considered "flagship universities"...

Plus it gives us more data points to examine when it comes to Millennials enrolled in "elite" schools, when it comes to examining the results of the '16 PRES GE election...
