How These Rankings Are Calculated
Each region’s “Alumni” number is a count of alumni currently active on four-year rosters — NCAA Division I, II, and III, NAIA, NCCAA, and USCAA — as of the 2026 reporting period, summed across every reporting college in that region. This is a cumulative, point-in-time snapshot, not a measure of in-season transfer activity. Within each region’s own leaderboard, colleges with equal alumni counts are ranked by win percentage, with the higher win percentage ranking higher.
