BobK, let's talk to Earl about getting an accurate count of all medals, including people like Eric Heiden from the Winter games!  My belief is that we are already the university with the most medals for the USA.  University of Southern Croatia does a nice job of recruiting and training athletes that compete against the USA. I think less than a third of the athletes they send compete for the USA.    Why am I not surprised - win at all costs vs a balanced approach.

there is a total count and winners on gostanford.com (see medal history)

http://www.gostanford.com/news/2016/7/7/...r-rio.aspx

they list winners from 1912-2008 and say

• Entering the 2016 Olympic Games, Stanford has won 243 overall medals (125 gold, 66 silver, 52 bronze).
  • [li]Leading the way among Stanford's 155 overall medalists are: Jenny Thompson (12 career medals), John Hencken (6), Janet Evans (5) and Pablo Morales (5).
    
  • The record for most medals won in a single Olympics is four, a feat accomplished by Jenny Thompson (2000), Summer Sanders (1992), Sharon Stouder Clark (1964) and Chris von Saltza Olmstead (1960).
    
  • The Cardinal has produced at least one medalist in every Olympics in which the U.S. has competed since 1912.
