Colgate University is a private liberal arts college with an undergraduate enrollment of 3,228 students that plays a total of 23 NCAA sports, 11 of them for men and 12 for women. In the 2021/2022 season, Colgate University had a total of 539 NCAA athletes comprising 17% of the total student body.

Colgate is highly likely to have recruited many of the athletes on its NCAA sports teams through the Division 1 athlete recruitment process, enabling these recruited athletes to leapfrog the normal admissions process. It is our best estimate based on team profiles that 50% to 75% of their teams comprise of recruited athletes while the remaining athletes are “walk-on” athletes who were admitted to Colgate University on merits unrelated to sports.
