I was thinking the same thing. BYU only gave out 13 blankets on Senior Day. That's far less than 40%. The only thing I could think of is missions. With players leaving on missions and coming home, I doubt that reaches 40%.
Go count their '09 roster and compare it to the players that aren't on the team for '10 anymore. That is a Bronco Mendenhall quote, not my numbers. This year might be different because a lot of the Freshman are either RMs, not going on missions, or not LDS. Still, the point stands regardless of how many it is each year. You never know who is waiting in the wings, redshirting, or where the next Cam Newton shows up playing in college, etc.
