190. right. its just a matter of population. Which is why U of Minnesota kicks Duke's ass in BBall

U of Minnesota -- close to 30,000 undergrads
Duke -- around 6000 undergrads

No wonder those dukies struggle in basketball. Not enough people to choose from.

And, in case you haven't noticed, a lot of top college and, increasingly, pro players are coming from outside the US.

China has four times the population of the US. So I guess they'll win four times the medals.

Or maybe its more complicated than that.
