It doesn’t make a whole lot of sense mathematically either.</p>
<p>The 2008 Middlebury football [roster[/url</a>] consisted of 70 men. According to the 2008-09 Middlebury [url=<a href=“http://www.middlebury.edu/NR/rdonlyres/1DE1CC19-8DF2-4557-90DE-01B37B456F6E/0/CDS2008_2009.pdf]Common”>http://www.middlebury.edu/NR/rdonlyres/1DE1CC19-8DF2-4557-90DE-01B37B456F6E/0/CDS2008_2009.pdf]Common</a> Data Set](<a href=“Middlebury College - Official Athletics Website”>Middlebury College - Official Athletics Website), total male enrollment at Midd in October 2008 was 1,197. So the football roster was only about 5.8% of the male enrollment.</p>
<p>There are some small LACs where the football team does approach 10% of the male enrollment, but Midd is not a particularly small LAC.</p>
