I was also curious how football playing schools in Division II compared to Marshall. By the way, wiki has Marshall at 13,628 and Madison at 6191 (about 45% the size of Marshall).
This is a list of schools in towns with a smaller population than Marshall. I didn't include any schools in a suburb of a large metro population, such as New Haven or Bentley. I'm sure I made an error or two.

So there are 58ish schools in populations smaller than Marshall. That puts Marshall at around the 33% mark. No intent in any of this other than curiosity and the pursuit of knowledge and perspective.
