Posted on Main Football Board but probably will get more use here :)


Fun article w/ interactive maps. http://blog.modeanalytics.com/where-football-players-call-home/

>>To help explore these questions, the interactive map below shows where all of today’s 25,000 Division-I college football players call home, according to ESPN. The map shows how players' hometowns differ by conference, team, and position.<<

>>The map below shows where today's college football players come from. Counties that are shaded in darker colors are home to more players than counties in ligher shades. No players reported a grey county as their home.

The buttons on the right filter players by conference, college, or position. To adjust for population size, you can change the map so that county shades are based on the number of players as a percent of each county's college-aged male population.<<


Not a scientific study and I'm sure folks will poke @ data because they can but still a neat "productivity killer"
