And let's not turn this into a Rudy thing either (lol). Seems to me that if they were really good enough to play D3, they would actually be on the team, either as a starter or reserve, and not just as an extra body for practice. Maybe we're talking about two different things here because I'm talking about guys who actually suit up for games.
A lot of players suit up for games. Not all play. When I say they play at the D3 level, I meant they're on the team. I thought that would be clear, since that it what this study is tracking. They arent tracking only those that start in college.
Again, as I explained in the paragraph above, I'm not just talking about players who start either. I'm talking about players who actually suit up for games and play. You're the one who said in your comment that some of those guys never set foot on the field aside and are nothing more than bodies in practice for others to hit. If you were just recruited as a way to get more students (also your words), and never get any PT, whether as a starter or reserve (doesn't matter), you're not good enough.
