Ursinus has always had a core athletic community. As a DIII school, Ursinus attracts student-athletes because of its noteworthy athletic history and the opportunities for athletic participation that the school provides. In 2019, Ursinus admitted about 200 freshman student-athletes, and this number has grown slightly over the years with the class of 2027 admitting around 210 freshman student-athletes according to the hours I spent counting the freshmen rosters provided on the Ursinus Athletics website. In other words, there are a lot of athletes here and, in my opinion, this has created amongst non-student athletes feelings of resentment and animosity towards the sizable student-athlete population.
