In a Stanford meeting, it was leaked that Duke had $13M for basketball NIL money this year (tough to compete with that), so $350K seems more on the mark. I love that $c is burying their medal count of 1 bronze (so far). They will win more, but I'm hoping we get over 30 medals this year, which I think would be a record? If we were to count Heiden (BS and MD from Stanford) and Thomas's Winter Olympic medals, as all other schools do, we might actually be able to pass the trojans (who count everything and then some). We clearly will be able to say we have more golds and more overall Olympic medals for Team USA after this year's great performances!
As for coverage, last night they shared Gabby Thomas's Harvard story as well as Mondo's LSU story, but said nothing about Valerie Allman's Stanford background in the story between Thomas and Mondo?? Are we starting to see a backlash?
the current record is 27 medals in 2016 in Rio
Gold (14) • Silver (7) • Bronze (6)
