[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]40% and upwards? Doubt it. Link your source. [/quote]

I am on the side of athletes and recruiting, but the numbers are undeniable.

[i]At Williams College, for example, 42% of the total enrollment of 2,000 students are NCAA athletes.  This unusually high percentage of NCAA athletes is due to Williams playing a total of 32 NCAA sports  [/i]

Xfactoradmissions? Really. I’d rather hear it directly from the college itself. https://communications.williams.edu/media-relations/fast-facts/#:~:text=one%20extracurricular%20activity.-,Athletics,%25%20at%20the%20varsity%20level).[/quote]

You think the difference between 35, 40 and 42, especially given the use of the word "approximately" in your link, makes a substantive difference in the point that it is a large percentage?

Yes, 40 is more than "approximately 35".  No reason to be pedantic about the fact when the effect is the same and the numbers vary by school and from year to year and the data sources vary also.  No one provides an exact count.

And I am pro athletic recruiting, BTW.[/quote]
