As of January 2026, the American university with the largest paid (dues-paying) member alumni club is Pennsylvania State University.

While many universities have recently moved toward "non-dues" models where every graduate is automatically a member (making their total "member" count equal to their total living alumni), Penn State maintains a distinct dues-paying structure that consistently ranks as the world's largest.


Top Universities by Paid Alumni Membership

• Pennsylvania State University (Penn State Alumni Association): It is recognized as the world's largest dues-paying alumni association, reporting nearly 175,000 active, paying members as of 2025/2026. This is part of a broader network of over 800,000 living alumni.
• Ohio State University: Historically cited as one of the largest dues-paying associations in the country, it maintains a massive engaged base within its total alumni population of over 600,000.
• University of Michigan: The Alumni Association of the University of Michigan (AAUM) has one of the most robust paid membership models, serving a total living alumni base of nearly 700,000.
• University of Texas at Austin (Texas Exes): Known for its "Texas Exes" association, it maintains a significant paid membership base (including life memberships) within a total network of over 600,000 alumni.

Important Distinction: Total Alumni vs. Paid Members

In 2025 and 2026, several large public universities surpassed others in total living alumni, b
ut their "member" counts often include all graduates for free:

• Indiana University: Now boasts the largest total living alumni base in the U.S. with over 805,000 individuals.
• Texas A&M University: While it has a massive and fierce "Aggie Network" of over 640,000 former students, its association does not require dues for general membership, distinguishing it from Penn State's paid model.

but the NCAA passed on doing that. They had decades to adapt and failed.

This is what happens.

I'm enjoying watching it burn, myself.

Just sayin': I'm just guessing that he knew he wasn't going to beat out Montgomery, Tshabola, Padilla, and VanSickle for an OG position. In his case I don't think it was about NIL money. He had already earned his degree at Ohio State in "sport industry". He had one more year of eligibility left; so he "took a chance" and transferred to his home state team. He just wanted an opportunity for more playing time in his final year in college.
