How Are College Ties Defined?
- Student-athlete: Any individual on Team USA who is/was a member of a collegiate roster (varsity/club/other) and/or competed in outside competition for a university or college.
- Collegiate attendance: Any individual who enrolled in an institution to complete academic coursework.
[NOTE: Student-athletes impacted by transfer circumstances and conference realignment were included in the totals for each institution attended and its member conference.]
