The presence of the U of S can't be ignored. Historically, it was roughly twice the size as the U of R. Not only does it attract immigrants, but has enabled tremendous business growth from alumni.
Rural to urban migration was the key growth factor in the 80s and 90s. Small town kids who went to the U of S tended to stay in Saskatoon. For whatever reason, the U of S has historically done a better job of attracting rural Saskatchewan students.
