... >> IN THE LAST 10 YEAR OHIO STATE HAS HAD
>> MORE PLAYERS IN THE NFL THAN ANY OTHER TEAM
... Rick, but I'm skeptical. Found this article regarding NFL players at the start of 2001:
>> FORMER COLLEGE PLAYERS ON NFL ROSTERS:
>> Notre Dame has 43 players on opening day NFL rosters,
>> the most of any college.
>> FSU is second with 41, Miami 37, Michigan 37, Florida 35,
>> Ohio State 33 and Nebraska 33.
Also checked current NFL rosters and found:
Notre Dame -- 43
Florida St -- 40
Florida ----- 38
Michigan ---- 35
Miami Fla --- 33
Ohio State -- 30
Nebraska ---- 29
Given those numbers for the last two years, it seems unlikely that Ohio State would have had enough other players in the league during the preceding eight years to be #1 over the last ten.
Can you give me a reference (say, a webpage) which documents that claim?
