I would like to see more people practice with us in our university club, but that's just my opinion. Our retention rate from new people is 1.2 per year, and since almost all of us are students, no one stays beyond 3-4 years.

I also don't think an increase in popularity automatically translates into commercialization.

being in a college club i can agree with these numbers, my own personal idea is to start highschool kendo clubs in your area, a ni-dan to a san-dan could instruct a beginning group in highschool, and then you would be dumping already semi experienced people into the many university level clubs around the US
