ASU is the largest university in the US, that must make some type of impact in the US economy. Also ASU has a lot of cool research

Based on what? It has been a few years since I've followed the rankings, but Ohio State and Texas were always battling for first in enrollment numbers.
It has the largest single campus: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_universit...

However, if you include online universities, the University of Phoenix is bigger. And if you allow lumping of multiple campuses together, Penn State is bigger. But even then, ASU is #3 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_largest_United_Stat...

So only the university that's #1 in enrollment contributes anything?
Absolutely not, I was just curious what was being used for that statement.
