Why do so many heavily recruited high school athletes choose Colgate? Nearly all cite the prospect of a first-class education combined with the high level of available extracurricular activities. According to Adonal Foyle '98, who was an Academic All-American in 1997, "I wanted to go to a place where the professors wouldn't treat you differently because of what happened on the basketball court. . . I knew [Colgate] was going to demand excellence from me both on and off the court." Moreover, Colgate's graduation rate for athletes is in the top 10 of Division I schools nationally.
