I guess I'm getting hung up on terminology.
There are not more legacies than slots. Can't happen. If 800 women go through pref for 10 chapters, quota will be 80, right? So maybe there are more than 80 legacies to XYZ, but there are NOT more than 800 legacies. Therefore, there are not more legacies than there are spaces. (I can't imagine even 80 legacies, but then I am not at all familiar with big southern schools, where I wouldn't fit at all. That's why I'm trying to learn.)
So if I'm understanding correctly, it would be correct to say "there are more XYZ legacies going through rush than XYZ can take" but not to say "there are more legacies than spaces." Is that it? Am I simply not understanding the verbal shorthand?
