UF = 113,562
FSU = 75,107
UM = 29,355
FAMU = 20,965
UCF = 15,060
USF = 14,718
Bethune = 6,761
FIU = 3,015
FAU = 2,599
NSU = 2,475
and so on,,,,,
Obviously the majority of these schools are older or have a larger alumni base, but is it a pride thing?
I guess time will only tell, but remember that $20.00 go to FAU every time somebody renews their FAU license plate.
thanks,

If you're adamant enough about FAU to read this board, then you should have one of these plates on your car. Everyone knows you can do it all online now right? No waiting in line at the DMV anymore. But if you're a fan of instant gratification, you can go to the Florida State tag office on Congress in Delray, pay the money and get the tag right then an there. It's just north of Atlantic on Congress, east side of the road-literally took me 5 minutes when I did this a few years back.

Re: FAU License plates count in 2008
I've seen them around, albeit infrequently and obviously nowhere near on the same level as other schools. I've been looking and I've been noticing that FAU and Boca has been polarizing; I only really see FAU and UF stuff anymore. Once in awhile I run across a Florida State, a UCF, almost never an FIU.
The problem of why we don't have more has all the usual explanations: not enough students, not enough pride/reason to care for some people, not enough awareness/marketing, people don't remember when they go to the tag office, etc. I have friends who went to undergrad and grad school at FAU, follow the football team, once in awhile attend the basketball games, etc and they still simply shrug it off when I get on them about buying the license plate.
So right now I guess it's mostly FAU football fans, athletes and Greeks who have it (the Greeks usually get the plate and then above it they'll have the license plate frame with their letters on it).
As the school's popularity grows, so to will the license plate count.
They used to hang the license plate banner in the Breezeway but I haven't seen that in, what, at least a year? I don't know why… they obviously have it… might as well use it.
Then push it at Orientation, push it at graduation and people from FAU need to work with local tag offices to get some sort of plate up in there.
Who do we talk to about that? FAU Marketing? Or the Alumni Association? Probably NAA, right?

Not really sure, don't want to keep making excuses. I know a few of the Dirty Birds (myself included) have them, while others for some reason don't
My two favorite teams are FAU, and who ever is beating FIU!

What a better excuse than showing your pride and helping the school at the same time.
In other states you can pay extra just to have the logo of your school; even though, you are not in florida. The license plate has the logo on the left hand side and the words Florida Atlantic University in the bottom with the respective state on the top; so if you feel proud and wanna help, but live some where within the US; you can get the FAU's tag.
I don't know how the school handles this and I can't judge their performance, but they need to be more aggressive.
If you don't have yours, GET IT NOW.
