Unfortunately, I suspect that professional college sports and the physical fitness of real students, are different things. For most students, like the rest of us, college sports is a form of passive entertainment.

I went to a smaller college that did not have professional teams, and I suspect that students were healthier than at the Big 10 university near my house. The sports were pretty much open to all students.

The captain of my college's football team was a physics major. That tells you something about the quality of the football team, the physics program, or both. ;-)
