Thoughts on Revenge of the Nerds

After The Biggest Loser last night, Encore was showing Revenge of the Nerds. Sure, it's a comedy classic, and mainly for the subtleties in the movie. However, watching it last night made me realize there a lot of silly plot devices that just don't make sense. For example:

How can a college football team have only about 20 players on it? Only if they had leather helmets, I say.

Also, all white guys on the team?

How can the football coach intimidate the dean the way he does? Any coach who even hinted at that kind of behavior to the dean of a college would be out on his ass and NEVER coach in college again.

Why does Louis' dad drop them off approximately a mile away from their dorm? They have to be able to get closer.

As a corollary, how do ALL of their possessions fit in that trunk, which they can also carry (and thus isn't packed very tightly)?
