I would say very few, as baseball uses its farm system for developing players, not colleges (unlike football and basketball).  Of course, even football and basketball pros usually don't have degrees, but I'd say even fewer baseball players do.

Is this a trick question?  The answer is there are 960 applicants this year...\n\nIf you mean how many were there *last* year, the answer is 800 applicants.\n\nx * 120% = 960\nx = 960 / (120/100)\nx = 960 * (100/120)\nx = 8 * 100\nx = 800\n\nDouble-checking:\n800 applicants last year\n20% more = 160 applicants\nTotal this year = 960 applicants

I believe there 15 letters. He did not write then to his brother. He wrote it to the "New-England Courant" a newspaper when he was 16 years old. They were written as a prank.  Thanks for the question. I like to research questions like this one and learn something new.

good question, gonna require a lot of research...but with 65 teams making the tournament these days, you might have to go back to the days when the tournament didn't include as many teams...\n\nIn '66, the UCLA Bruins didn't make the tournament despite winning the previous two national championships...but only 23 teams made the tournament at that time.\n\nit's hard to imagine a team today making the final 4 one year and not being among the 65 chosen teams the following season, but maybe it's happened...and there's always a possibility of a final four team getting slapped with probation or something, which would prevent them from making the tournament the following season. Also, players leave college after one good year, so maybe the loss of a key player or two may have prevented a final four team from making the tourney the following year.\n\nWell, I just found a web site with year-by-year college basketball recaps and tournament results, from 1939-2000. You can look up any year to see the complete ncaa tourney results game by game... it'll take a little research on your part to see which final four teams didn't make the tourney the following year, but this site will give you that info, if you're willing to spend the time to figure it out...good luck..

There's 60 picks in the draft.  About 40 of them will be college players, maybe 20 of them are in the tournament, with the others coming from teams that didn't make it.  The rest will be foriegn players.  A few may try out as unrestricted free agents as well.

not many but it will shorten your time getting the BS degree and now with the way things are going you will need a freeking Masters and by the time you get that you will need a freeking doctorate.  That's what happened to me, lol.  Good luck

NO. \nBut, you have Champions in Basketball (UCLA) and Football (USC) from the SAME CITY at least in Los Angeles (the greatest sports town in America!) at the same time, in 1972.\n\n1972 NCAA Football Championship\nSouthern California\n\n1972  NCAA Basketball Championship Won by  UCLA under the direction of John Wooden\nUCLA  beat  Florida St.  81-76 \n\nThe NEXT closest you have is in the same STATE:\nNCAA Champions in Football 1997 Michigan\nNCAA Champions in Basketball 2000 Michigan State\n\nOtherwise, the 3rd closest you have is in 1989 NCAA Basketball Michigan beating Seton Hall in Overtime  80-79 \nAnd in 1997 NCAA Football Michigan won the Rose Bowl

Not at this time.\n\nMost likely he won't get a number until minicamp or some other training camp.\n\nJust because he is the top pick in the draft does not mean that he can have any number he wants.  If a veteran has the number he wants, usually a rookie will have to pay the veteran to give up that number so he can wear it.  Sometimes vets will be cool and just let him have it for free.  Other people command a real stiff asking price so he may give it up.\n\nExample--Antawn Jamison (NBA basketball's Washington Wizards) wears #7 now.  In college he wore #33.  When he came over from the Warriors (he wore #33), Brendan Haywood already was wearing #33 for the Wizards.  Haywood asked for too much money so Jamison decided to wear #7 instead and he has stuck with it ever since.  Of course, Haywood was probably dogging Jamison because they are both UNC alumni, and I guess he wasn't going to let Antawn have it easily.\n\nEdit: the above poster is right--running backs can only wear a number between 20 and 49 in the NFL.  So he cannot wear #5 in a real game.  He can in scrimmages and stuff but not in a real regular season game.\n\nI suppose however, that the NFL in its endless efforts to promote the game...might allow for it...see the article below.

Visit the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) site... I know they have a table that provides rates for individual schools, and I think they also provide rates based on particular sports, gender, and race...I also know that Stanford is praised for the very high graduation rates of its Black athletes

1. Texas has 25 commitments - 2 - 5 star, 11 - 4 star, & 12 - 3 star players\n\n2. USC has 25 commitments - 5 - 5 star, 14 - 4 star, & 6 - 3 star players\n\n3.  Wienstedt must have said the right things & given out alot of scholarships.\n\n4.  West Virginia has 16 commitments - 10 - 3 star players.\n\nI don't know how faith i would put in these predictions.  Last year Tennessee & Iowa were predicted to make national champioinship runs.  Neither school came remotely close to acheiving that goal.

Here is an article that I found, it is from 1997 but the numbers shouldn't be all that farr off players-wise.  However, it also goes into blacks on the business side and I think those numbers have gotten better.\n\nI have enclosed a second link.  It takes you to articles done on ESPN.com by Doctor Richard Lapchick.  I just so happen to go to UCF where he runs the DeVos Sports Institute with an emphasis on community involvement.  He has been involved in sports and civil rights for the past almost 40 years and if you are asking this question out of a couriosity about the issue of diversity and sports then I would definitely check out some of his articles and google his name for even more.  I have seen him speak twice and he is truly an awesome person.

I don't have any stats on this so please let me know how I did. Common sense would say that Florida and Texas would be 2 big NFL contributors. Same with Ohio and Pennsylvania for the north. The fact that 20% of our country's population lives in California would mean that they have to be in the top 10. So that leaves 5 others. I will try to rule out states with real small populations even though you have already said that there are a few of them under 9 mil. How about Georgia, Virginia, Oklahoma, Illinois, Washington State?\n\nThose are my guesses but I will throw in honorable mentions to Michigan, Indiana, Nebraska, Tennessee, N Carolina , Alabama,\nMisouri & Mississipi\n\nThanks this was fun

My guess is that Jim designed it but I am not sure how you would find out who actually made it.  Lots of great players actually know how to make cues, and judging by the way you say there were only 6 made maybe he made it himself.
