Div. IA Football programs get 85(!?) scholorships? Even if you look at how many players it takes to field a team, you'd have more than enough for 3 full teams! Do the math: 11 per side is 22. Add a kicker, punter and specialty kicker makes 25. Add a second string, you have 50, and a third team makes 75. Then, I guess you have 10 guys to red-shirt, or to have spankin' their monkeys on the sidelines.

And... I don't see a SINGLE cricket scholarship!
