Scholarships are part of the numbers game when it comes to athletics. But the number of uniforms handed out might make a difference, too.

How many sports is enough?

It was a question we posed in a post last week, and it garnered more than a few comments.

Even ignoring scholarships - since all schools are supposed to be following NCAA limits on those numbers - Rutgers' teams do not carry very large rosters.
