London Footballers hold candlelight vigil for BengalsWith any corporate closing, there are jobs and lives affected. Some players in NFL Europe have a chance to land on an NFL roster and others may find work in the new All American Football League. I had my research assistant break down the NFL Europe rosters to see what schools will be working overtime:
Conference | # of players on NFL Europe rosters |
ACC | 30 |
Big T(elev)en | 26 |
SEC | 26 |
Pac 10 | 25 |
Big 12 | 22 |
Big East | 19 |
Mountain West | 16 |
Conference USA | 14 |
WAC | 11 |
Independent | 4 |
Div I-AA | 43 |
Div 2 | 21 |
Div 3 | 5 |
International | 44 |
Other | 4 |
The schools with 3 or more former players are:
6 - South Carolina (apparently, the good people have already prepared for the coming rush. )
5 - Georgia Tech, San Diego State, Syracuse, Virginia Tech
4 - Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Oregon State, Penn State, Pittsburgh, South Florida, Tennessee, Texas Tech, Virginia, Wyoming
3 - Arizona St, Boise St, UConn, Florida, Maryland, Memphis, North Carolina, Oklahoma St, Rutgers, USC, Southern Miss, Temple, Tennessee St, Utah, Washington St, Wisconsin
The lone ND player is kicker D.J. Fitzpatrick. Perhaps he will catch on with that other European football, I would think they would need some kickers. I was hoping to be able to make some clever analysis of this data, but couldn't come up with anything insightful or clever (mea culpa). If anyone has any thoughts that make Michigan and USC (not the gamecocks - who cares) look bad, leave them in the comments. In other words, this is meaningless statistics with no value. Good to see I can live up to my mission statement.
