So, since the objective stats are similar for many other teams, how is it relevant? Furthermore, that's one way to quantify inspiration, but perhaps the judges don't think that's viable. Then what?

Alumni are super important. I'd be lying if I told you we didn't include alumni numbers in our presentations while I was working on them. That said, if many teams' numbers are similar, doesn't that then just become another "checkbox" metric?
