I noticed in the 2012 media guide that La'el didn't earn a letter last year. Wikipedia says a common threshold in football is participation in 1/2 of the quarters the team played in during the season.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but, I thought to letter you had to have 16 quarters played, or 4 games. I've always thought if you played 3 games and then got injured, you lettered. Anyone ???
