athletes on the Stanford campus are low key… half the time you don’t even know they’re an athlete…
until you watch the olympics and figure out that guy you had lunch with just won a gold medal.

if you’re an athlete… students know you’re of world class caliber… there is no back door to Stanford admissions via the athletic department because the caliber of athlete is so much higher.

Stanford is an FBS school and competes in the most competitive athletic conference in the US. other peer schools you’re referencing are non FBS and athletics are a hook at these schools so that accounts for the difference in attitude.
