How this was counted
Roster: the number of players on the school’s own 2026-27 roster page, counted only where the page confirms that season. Intl: the share of that roster whose listed hometown is outside the United States, printed when at least 8 hometowns could be placed. Grad rate: the school’s six-year graduation rate for all students (IPEDS DRVGR2023 · GBA6RTT), not for athletes alone.
A dash means we could not confirm the figure, not that it is zero. Conference membership is the 2026-27 alignment as held in our program directory.
