Oxner's number seems to have got chopped off, and he'd hit 21 games by your formula. And while he's technically a USPORTs pick, he was also on the club's radar long before the draft was a reality and would likely have ended up in camp one way or another. There are a few of the draftees in that boat, especially from Year One, for obvious reasons.

But it's good to have the basic comparative formula. Thanks for doing this.

On the athletic awards, it's worth (re-)emphasizing there is huge variability here, not just between schools of different size and financial stratum, but also within schools but between sports. Schools like UofA that have a lot of high-tier sports (hockey, gridiron) often spend comparatively less on the soccer program, in both awards and general upkeep, than small schools like Cape Breton, which only runs basketball and soccer and recruit heavily in both.

Re: USPORTs. The only thing worse than the new name is the new website design.
