It gained those records because of previous success and because of competition with USC and UCLA, which are also consistently top five in those sports. UNC and Virginia also do well in Olympic sports, so they could possibly replace them. Without solid competition, Stanford will not attract solid recruits. It will get fewer championships and will have to cut sports. Stanford without sports is merely the Ivy League (possibly even MIT and CalTech even) with nice weather.
Every now and then, some of the Ivies do okay even in revenue sports. Princeton for instance, was Sweet 16 in MBB, round of 32 in WBB this past winter. Princeton WWP made the final 4. Cornell and Yale very good in M LAX. etc.
