Footnotes The "Class" column refers to United States terminology indicating that student's year of athletic eligibility, which usually (but not always) corresponds to the year of study. For example, a freshman is in his first year (of four) of eligibility, followed by sophomore, junior and senior. The University of Maryland left the ACC to join the Big Ten in 2014.
