I must not have been paying close enough attention, because I thought that was the end result for all schools that use RFM. That GP a characteristic of it.
New question: is there a "magic percentage" that RFM /specialists work with looking ahead from registration to pref and crunching numbers for return numbers for each round?
For example, at Arkansas (ole miss, too) they surely can see what the numbers are doing each round. And even as they chant "quota range will be determined based on , blah, blah) I have to believe they can see where things are heading. Are they holding to an unspoken rule that no more than 10% will go bid less. Because each year, that is roughly how many drop, are released, etc. Why not 20% or 30%? Why don't they make those big cuts early. Then make another BIG cut in a later round.
