"Stanford is unique among top schools in that its the only true D1 school that offers athletic scholarships, not bond by the ivy rules. As a result it probably has the greatest difference between its best and worst academic performers, certainly no place for “average excellence”.
Stanford’s not quite unique. The list for very high academics plus full bore D1 scholarship athletics (including Power 5 football) would be Stanford, Duke, NW, ND, Vandy.
If you expand the parameters a bit, you could also add Rice, Gtown, USC, Cal, UCLA, UVA, UNC, UM, Wake and BC.
These all have very high grad rates and provide a LOT of academic support to their athletes to keep it that way.
