Hey, so I've got a major respect for colleges that support their student athletes to the point of competing in the Olympics. For the 2024 Olympics, does anyone know which college has the most student participants? I would love to support a school that emphasizes athletics alongside academics. Any idea, guys?
Given that the 2024 Olympics haven't occurred yet, it's tough to definitively say which college will have the most student participants. Factors such as students' progress in their respective sports, Olympic qualifiers, and team selections will all play into which schools end up being represented.
However, you might be interested to know that in past years, certain schools do tend to have a higher number of participants. Universities like Stanford, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and University of Southern California (USC) traditionally have strong athletics programs and often send a substantial contingent of athletes to the Olympics.
For example, during the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, Stanford had 32 current students, alumni, or faculty compete, UCLA had 30, and USC had 66. It's important to keep in mind that these numbers can fluctuate greatly from one Olympics to the next due to the factors mentioned above.
So while we can't predict the 2024 figures yet, looking into schools with strong athletic traditions like Stanford, UCLA, and USC would be a good place to start!
