They don't even have an NHL team or any pro team for that matter...

Yes, but look at their college hockey team and how many players they have in the NHL. And c'mon it's Vermont for Pete's sake. Let them have this.

I saw a study like this a few years ago also that had Louisiana at the top. It is just a way of life on Fridays like it is here in Texas. As much as hate to say this, LSU has had quite a few draft picks over the years. A few years ago there was 5 or 6 LSU draft picks just in the first round. So yes they have had some talent especially on the defensive side.

Louisiana is also 3rd or 4th depending on which list you look at in NBA players per capita.

I'm surprised Tonga or something isn't denser given that you're saying "the world."

This is actually one of the main reasons Tech has been able to compete despite having such a low Athletic Budget.
