Colleges and the Olympics: Which has contributed the most athletes?

This could be a fun tidbit to know. Which college has sent the most athletes to the Olympics? I think that kind of info might reflect on the institution's athletic programs and support for student-athletes. Thanks guys!

The University of Southern California (USC) holds the distinction of having sent the most athletes to the Olympics. As of the latest Summer Olympics, over 400 Trojans competed in the games, winning a number of medals. This is a testament not only to the quality of USC's athletic programs across a variety of sports but also their commitment to nurturing student-athletes who compete at the highest levels.

On that same note, Stanford University and the University of California, Berkeley (Cal) are also known to have a significant presence in the Olympics, contributing a substantial number of athletes over the years.

Keep in mind though, while the number of Olympic athletes a school has contributed is indisputably impressive and reflective of its athletic prowess, it doesn't necessarily translate into support for every student-athlete or every sports program in the institution. Some sports might be more emphasized than others, and a student's individual athletic experience can vary widely. If you're an aspiring collegiate athlete, it'd be wise to research specific athletic programs of interest as well as general student-athlete support services.
