One question, why do several percentages for teams add up to less than 100%. I can understand being off a percent or so, but some are missing 8% or 9%

Because all of these schools have 0.4% or less for roughly 25 states or so.
Ole Miss has something like 0.27% of their students from Connecticut. If you add up all of those small percentages, then the roughly 3-5% of kids from out of the country, it would add up to 100%.

I would assume the reason is that not all 50 states are listed. Each University probably has a kid or two from Hawaii... making up 0.001% of the University. But not all 50 states were listed for each school.
My guess is the bottom 40 states or so combine for 5-10% at each school.
