     I am sure in Texas and California there a a few programs that have 
been pretty successful without walk-ons.  I wasn't talking about the 
need to have a top program.  I was talking about the need for walk-ons 
to make that happen.  Does USC have a big time walk-on program?

      Please tell me what the percentage of walk-ons versus scholarship 
players made a difference.  I really believe NU would be right where it 
is today without walk-ons.
