Hello.
Based on data on the web site of the National Association of System
Heads (NASH), a membership organization of Chief Executive Officers of
the 52 public higher education systems, these would be the top 10
systems by size:
(1) STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK (374,377)
(2) THE CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM (367,134)
(3) STATE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF FLORIDA (240,753)

Note that several of the systems above include some "community
college" enrollment. I notice that your question specified
"university systems." If you're just interested in "university"-level
(e.g., B.A. degree & higher) enrollment, the rankings would be
slightly different if you remove the "associates"-level enrollment:
(1) THE CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM (367,134)
(2) STATE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF FLORIDA (240,753)
(3) STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK (193,000) (* associates removed)
(4) UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA (166,718)
(5) UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA (162,761)
(6) UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA (160,000) (* associates removed)
(7) UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN SYSTEM (147,000) (* associates removed)
(8) THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS SYSTEM (146,442)
(9) CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK (132,308) (* associates removed)
(10) UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF MARYLAND (112,620)
