Yes, you are correct. Was trying to show the % of athletes compared to enrollment. 17 varsity sports and an enrollment of 2600 is going to be a very high percentage of athletes.
The elite schools don't need sports to attract students, but they do need sports to attract top students who play sports away from other schools on the list. Williams will be a great school with or without sports, it's just necessary to sponsor sports in order to keep their athletes from going to Amherst and playing.

Agree with you there.
