OK, now it's time for my two cents... I would recommend Syracuse University (my old alma mater - one year playing sousaphone, three years as drum major), but it is a private school.
Now living in Western Pennsylvania, I would recommend University of Pittsburgh as a public school having a good band. However, if you are looking for a real bargain in terms of cost of education, and are also looking for a large and pretty good band, check out West Virginia University.
Also, check out Jacksonville State. Don't know the quality of education, but you gotta love a whole tuba line with nothing but Conn 20Js!
