LOL. If that happens all the time is there an isu fan breaking down NBA rosters to see how many B12 point guards start?

Here's the breakdown of 2020 NFL rosters starting safeties by conference:
B1G: 14
ACC: 14
SEC: 11
Pac: 8
B12: 3
Yikes.
So out of 128 starting DB (CB,SS,FS) slots on 2020 rosters in the NFL, here's the breakdown by conference:
SEC: 29 (23%)
B1G: 24 (19%)
ACC: 23 (18%)
PAC: 18 (14%)
B12: 7 (5%)
SEC: 29 (23%)
B1G: 24 (19%)
ACC: 23 (18%)
PAC: 18 (14%)
B12: 7 (5%)
So you have 50 starting QBs but exactly 128 DBs (32×4). Numbers don't lie, accounts do.
No idea what you're talking about. Say again? I looked at all 2020 starting NFL rosters, they all had 2 CB, 1 SS, 1 FS, spots listed. That = 128. I didn't say anything about QB. 32 NFL teams = 32 starting QBs I'd think. But that's UI math.
It was actually interesting and didn't take much time. I had to mix in a run to bail out daughter #2 who'd locked her keys in her car. Don't be bitter.
Guys, I hope you are sitting down? The conference with least teams has the least NFL representation at a high volume position group. Who could have guessed it without the numbers being compounded for us. I, for one, am blown away.
Big 12 has 4 fewer teams than the B1G, and 17 fewer NFL starters at DB. The % game doesn't work out for you here. Sorry.
Gonz, I refuse to believe you are that simple. It isn’t as easy as the Big 12 having 4 less teams when you are talking about something that is static like the NFL. You have to look at as there are roughly 29% additional draft eligible players every year coming from the Big 10. Then that compounds every year. So only a dummy would expect it to be a direct representation of the number of teams in each conference. And you aren’t one. So I think you are probably just being intentionally disingenuous.

So... 32 NFL teams X 4 DB starting slots per team = 128 total starting DB slots... isn't static?
I think you're being a bit of a contortionist here. The fact that the Big 12 has just 5% of the NFL's starting DBs compared to the B1G's 19% seems pretty clear, and pretty disproportionate.
That was supposed to say “is” I will edit. Even though starting positions are actually not static at all as far as who is filling them. Feel free to address the actual point of what I said
You said the number of starting DBs in the NFL isn't static. I said it kind of is. Lol.
Each of the NFL's 32 teams listed 2 starting CBs and 2 starting safeties on their 2020 rosters, latest update Dec. 2020. I found them here.
Once again, I know you know that your rational here is trash. You are standing on the hill that starting lineups in the NFL are not fluid. The depth charts on that link are a mess with guys who have changed teams.
Solid point. I'm sure the DB starting spots across the NFL were flooded with Big 12 talent that just happened to fall off dramatically by conference prior to December.
