Bye Week Trivia: "Old men"

[Fido]

So I thought with 16 days in between games due to the early Boise State game and the bye week, it might be fun to distract everyone from the things that could be complained about from the last game.

It seems long ago that BYU went independent, playing their first non-MWC schedule in 2011. 16 of the 21 graduating players on this year's teams graduated in HS classes from when BYU played in the MWC ( only these didn't: Eric Takenaka and Jamal Williams from the class of 2011, Michael Davis, Kai Nacua, and Colby Pearson from the class of 2012).

Trivia question: How many (potentially) returning players are from HS classes from the time BYU was in the MWC?

I'll give it a few days and then post the answer.

Wow, I never would have guessed.

* full disclosure, I voted 16+ after I saw the answer.
