University of Maryland-College Park spends $29,022 per player on student aid for its men’s team athletes -- the highest rate among Maryland colleges -- according to an Higher Education Tribune analysis of U.S. Department of Education data. 

The 23 colleges in the state with men’s teams spent $24.8 million on athletic student aid. 

The U.S. Department of Education Office of Postsecondary Education compiles athletics data annually from more than 2,000 schools receiving federal financial aid. The Illinois Business Daily analysis was based on those numbers.

More than 1,300 of those schools provide student aid to players on men's teams. In all, they spent more than $2.1 billion in 2016 on aid for 238,546 players.
