No idea why folks can't comprehend or get offended by a much more reliable method in regards to calculating which states produce NFL talent.
Because it isn't more reliable.
You're being majorly downvoted because most folks here realize that "per participant" figures are notoriously unreliable and those numbers vary drastically from state to state in how they're figured whereas population figures are much more reliable and uniform.
"Per participant" is a better way to figure it, in theory, but this isn't a perfect world.

LMAO!
Are you actually trying to tell me it's easier to figure a states population than how many HS students play HS FB?
You actually believe this?
So getting a roster of players from each school that plays HS FB is somehow impossible.Even an estimate gives you a FAR more accurate way of figuring out NFL talent produced by state.
Do you actually think retirees moving into Florida who never played or never HS FB should be counted in a population pool of potential/future HS FB?
Here ya go participants per state and D1 offers
Gee,how in the world did they get such secret and complex information?

Yes, there is a Census to count the population. There is not an organization who keeps reliable numbers of high school football players in each state.

It isn't impossible, it just isn't recorded by any organization.
This isn't that hard to understand.

I honestly don't know what to tell you if you believe this.

So how did the NCAA figure it out in that article?

I'm not saying it's "easier" per se, I'm saying it's actually done whereas the other isn't.
Not sure why you're struggling so hard to understand this.

It isnt?
How did the NCAA get its participant information for the article? (2nd time asking)

You said there was no data to support participation rates.I then post data with participation rates included.
Did the NCAA just pull it out their arse? Just decided to lie about it?
Any reasons as to why they might do this?
:r

False. I said there was no organization that provided reliable data accessible by everyone.
The NCAA doesn't exactly state where they got their data so who knows where it come from, in a way, your article helps to prove my point.

No it doesn't and once again,did they just make it up? Lie about it?
Reasons?
BTW You never addressed the state of Florida scenario and including retirees and transplants in your "per capita" equation.
Another BTW.Why do Mississippi and Louisiana folks get their panties in a wad when participation rates are brought up?It s obviously the most logical and scientific way to figure out which state produces what NFL talent especially if you wanna bring the "per" argument into this.
Strange,very strange.

I have no clue, ONCE AGAIN, they don't state their source which supports my statement that there is no reliable source of this information that is available to everyone.

I already told you that "per participant" IS a better statistic BUT reliable data isn't available for whatever reason.
You keep saying the same thing over and over again, speaking with you is like communicating with a petulant child.
