There are ~120 Division 1 football schools in the US, with 85 scholarships each, the majority of which are folks walking around at Heavyweight, while there are 78 D1 college wrestling schools with less than 1 scholarship for heavyweight each. Obviously MMA is international but there is still baseball, basketball, hockey, etc. that have more opportunity and are less immediately physically violent than MMA for the smaller slice of athletic population that exist in the proper heavyweight range.
