[quote=Anonymous]This is all just a numbers game...how many sports does a school offer, which sports and how large is the student body at large. If a SLAC has a football team it is basically the same size as the Alabama football team and needs to recruit the same number of players. A football team (when you include 2nd string recruits) is easily 100 kids right there. If the entire school is only 2000 kids, that is 5% of the student body. If you add up all the various sports teams and think about the total rosters they are allowed (e.g., baseball I think has 35 roster spots for an entire team), the %age of the student population can get fairly significant.[/quote]
