<p>^ What did they do with the other 53% of their bodies?</p>
<p>I gotta say, having spent a fair amount of time hanging out around UChicago students over the past few years: That 47% number seems awfully suspect to me. If it’s really true, then a good number of them were “involved” as managers, or maybe blocking dummies. It’s not like there are no athletes there – of course there are athletes, some of them quite good, and some of them even involved in sports that get played on a varsity level in most high schools (as opposed to, say, ultimate frisbee or fencing). But half the student body? Hard to believe.</p>
<p>(I knew 11 UChicago students in the classes of 2008-2011 when they were in high school. One legitimately played a varsity sport.)</p>
