I know Chapman and UR the best, UR is like 30+ percent athletes and Chapman is even less.

Any school in the SCIAC or ODAC  like LINFIELD where 70% of the students participate in D3 sports?

I don't think there is an ODAC school even near 50%. That's a huge D3 participation number.

I don't think there is an ODAC school even near 50%. That's a huge D3 participation number.

I thought that was a ridiculously high total so I looked up the actual figures. In Linfield College's 2015-16 filing to the U.S. Department of Education, 517 student-athletes participated in varsity athletics, out of 1,635 full-time undergraduates, or 31.6%.

Redlands: 18.5%. Chapman under 10% (because it's so large).

Caltech had 20%

CMS had 35%

CMS had 35%

I didn't try to do the math on CMS because of the enrollment of the other two schools. Always tricky.

Supplemental Information
The athletic program run by Claremont McKenna College (CMC) is also open to all students enrolled at Harvey Mudd College and Scripps College (an all-women's college). Following the guidance provided by the Office of Postsecondary Education, the undergraduate data provided in the Undergraduate Enrollment section includes only the students enrolled in the CMC while the data in the rest of the survey includes all participants in the program, regardless of the school in which they are enrolled. The undergraduate enrolment number for Harvey Mudd College is 803, of which there are 432 males and 371 females. The total undergraduate female enrollment at Scripps College is 958. Of the total number of varsity athletes, 50 were Scripps female participants. The total number of Harvey Mudd participants was 68, 50 males and 18 females.

Number of Full-time Undergraduates:  1,324

That Department of Education site is fantastic for this stuff. Will be a shame if it goes away. Anyway, I checked all the ODAC schools except Hollins and Sweet Briar who didn't show up.

Randolph College has 307 of 661 enrolled students playing sports or a league high 46.44%. Of the football playing schools, E&H at 404/1003, 40.28% is the highest ratio.

The lowest ratio is Lynchburg College at 436/1977 or 22.05%, closely followed by Roanoke College at 432/1925, 22.44%. Of the football playing schools, the lowest ratio is Shenandoah at 531/1927, 27.55%. 

Four of the lowest six participation rates belong to the non-football schools, with only Shenandoah and H-SC showing below 30% for non-football schools. All other football playing schools are above 30%, and Randolph, with that massive participation number, is the only non-football school above 30%. 

W&L sits at 566/1843, or 30.71%.  In regards to participation rate the Generals are on the low end, but trailing only Bridgewater in participation rate among schools with at least 1800 students. Bridgewater and W&L compete in the most ODAC sports, with Bridgewater only missing Men's Swimming while W&L misses only Softball. As you'd expect, W&L and Bridgewater have the most varsity athletes in the ODAC in total.

Redlands: 18.5%. Chapman under 10% (because it's so large).

Redlands enrollment is tricky, the have several commuter campus geared toward credentials and such, I have never heard how they are broken out.
I can tell you a class of 700 new freshman living on or near UR, is a big class. They had a couple 500 ish classes a couple years ago, lowered some admission standards for some,  to get some numbers back up, and compete with California's improving state budget and college admissions opening up in the State and UC system, along with reducing then number of full pay, out of state kids and country kids.

All of my data uses only full-time undergraduates so I suspect many of those aren't included.

Some of those offsite programs are full time, such as teaching credentials as required in CA.

Well, thank you all.  I could not say where I "heard" my 70% figure.  I always thought it sounded high, as well.
Of LINFIELD'S enrollment there IS a nursing school in Portland where I doubt people participate in sports.

The figures I cited specified the McMinnville campus.
