How many current athletes are there? 1,000? Just a guess as I have no clue or care to know, much less the yearly total student number. So let’s say 10% of the current students atheletes signed this...
But wait it includes former SA’s as well. So let’s say that 1,000 each for a decade. 10,000 total SA. 100 signed. So 1% between current and former..... At the made up numbers I guessed at.
