PA leads all states for NCAA Qualifiers Per Capita

[T J]

Iowa fans may be comforted by being number two per capita, but not likely happy that even per capita, PA leads the nation.

Hat tip to Willie Saylor for lots of interesting stats.

Half of the PA Finalists are Penn Staters.

Lee, Zain, Perry, Hidlay, Nolf, Cenzo

PSU wanted Lee for sure, so that makes 4 of 6 at a minimum. Not sure about Perry and Hilday.
====

PSU has more PA finalists (3),
than there are finalists in any other state. Only 3 other states have 2 finalists
- CA, Mich and NJ. (And one of them, Mark Hall, is also a PSU finalist)

Good schools must be diverse and go after the best talent wherever it exists.

Sounds like an NJ troll to me. Too bad Rutgers can't get any PA guys. If they did, they might become competitive.
